Change web admin page from http to https

[trencarbe]

Is it possible to reach the web admin login page by a https address, instead of regual http?

Example:
https://mybubbatoo.bubbaserver.com

I already opened up my router on port 443. What do I change in Bubba?

You shuld not have to do anything on your bubba. Have you tryed to conect with https://? Works for me.

[trencarbe]

yes, I can get to the admin page with https using the internal address, but it's uncontactable from outside. Despite the https port set in the router...

The http address works from outside, but not https address.

strange!

No it is not strange! Easyfind is just a simple forward as mentioned in manual and at the forum. When you want to access your admin on secured protocol from outside you have to use your own ip your network is connected to internet (whatismyip.com), then >> https://ipnetwork/admin that works for sure if you also opened this port in router. If you own a domainname you can et the dns to this ip which is nicer

Hi,

Using https with easyfind does work, easyfind works with http and https protocols.
However, using https will show two warnings as the certificates are not verified by a third party.

Using IE this will show a kind of error page recommending you not to connect to the site, and also in Firefox this will show as a warning.

Next question: is it possible to make Bubba accept only https connections to the admin page?

[Eek]

yes
1) turn off port 80
2) put a redirect to 443 for /admin
cheers

Or as I do only enable the router to forward port 443 to bubba

[Binkem]

I would like my web-page to be accessible via http (port 80) though

I'll try making a redirect for /admin

Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/bubba to just accept conections on port 443. Coment out the line: NameVirtualHost *:80 with a #, and the <VirtualHost *:80> section.

Just did this:

In the sites-available/bubba file I replaced the:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ...stuff...

</VirtualHost>

to

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>

        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
        RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

</VirtualHost>

accessing http://bubba redirects to https://bubba for any page below the bubba directory
