Re: [sleuthkit-users] Autopsy over SSL?

[Angus M. <an...@n-...>]

Installing apache as a server won't help you - Autopsy is a server in its own
right and doesn't speak HTTPS itself.

OTOH - you could probably use Apache's proxy pass through functionality to enable
it to act as a HTTPS proxy to the Autopsy process. That would take a little bit
of hacking around in the config file, but should be possible. If you can wait a
couple of days, I'll see if I can find time to try it out.
