Re: [cobalt-users] Has anyone successfully configured SSL on RaQ2?

Patrick-

Are you using the Cobalt SSL package?

If so here is what we did.
1. Ordered a secure cert from thawte like the following:
secure.ourdomain.com
2. Followed directions in the SSL manual to generate and install cert.
3. Created a single A record in DNS pointing 'secure.domain.com' to an IP.

To set-up to that virtual customers can use:
1. Created a directory called ssl in /home/sites
2. Made the document root of the secure server /home/sites/ssl  (This can be
done by changing the path between the <Virtual Host> directives towards the end
of the httpsd.conf file).

Now you want to be able to let your user access the secure server via their
website. Lets say it is site5
3. cd /home/sites/ssl
4. ln -s /home/sites/site5/web /home/sites/ssl/site5
*For the second path you can name "site5" anything you want. Say the domain is
test.com so you make it /home/sites/ssl/test

Now when you go to https://secure.domain.com/test/ it will allow you to call any
file up in secure mode that is in the site5s web directory.

Also "chmod o-r ssl" so that if someone goes to your your secure server without
putting in a directory they are not allowed to see the directory structure of
the ssl
directory.

We set it up this way so that only sites that we create the links for are
allowed to access the secure server.

Works great for us. Hope it helps.
