Hi,
first of all many thanks for the new release ... it works very nice and stable.
I have a question related to the vmware installation and HTTPS. Let me explain what I want and where are my problems.
I have a gentoo bases host system where I ran project-open as gast in the vmware virtual machine (I'am using virtualbox but I think this is not releated to my problem).
I have setup a host-only network with some sort of NAT which means, that the project-open gast becomes a IP adress (for example 192.168.56.101) of the private virtual network.
I can use project-open from my host system without problems. I have setup an apache in my host with a simple rewrite rule to serve all request via https:
HTTPS apache virtual host configuration:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^internal\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://192.168.56.101$1 [P,L]
Because of security reasons I want to use now project-open only via HTTPS. I can reach from outside the project-open site via https://internal.mydomain.com where I get the login screen from project-open. After login project-open redirects me always to http://internal.mydomain.com/intranet . And thats my problem!
I have configured project-open with the parameters:
SystemURL https://internal.mydomain.com
and
UtilCurrentLocationRedirect https://internal.mydomain.com
But this solves not the problem. I understand that project-open thinks to redirect to HTTP because from the point of view of project-open the request comes (from the apache) via HTTP.
Is it possible to run project-open also in HTTPS mode? In the vmware installation the aolserver3.3 is configured to run on 8000 and 8443. But lsof shows me the the aolserver only listen on *:8000 and not on *:8443. How can I change this? The next question is releated to pound. As I understand, from outside all requests to project-open served by pound with the catch-all rule. But pound also listen only on *:80 and not *:443.
I think and hope if I can enable pound and aolserver to work with ssl and my rewrite rule also uses a internal ssl proxy foreward, the problem should solved.
But I don't have found any documentation how to enable and run project-open in the vmware in HTTPS mode. What has to be configured and how to achive this? Or is there is another way to configure project-open to NOT switch to HTTP if I want a HTTPS request?
Many thanks for your help.
- Thomas
