SSL Cert Question for ISPConfig Access

    Hello group

    I posed this question some time ago and Till did respond, however I have been out of my office for months now and can't locate his response in my email client..

    Anyhow...

    My server is running Ubuntu 7.10 and ISPConfig.

    When I try to access ISPConfig using the URL: https://giganetwireless.net:81/
    The browser just works and works never going to the ISPConfig login screen.
    This is a SSL certificate issue isn't it?

    I have logged into ISPConfig from the server Desktop itself and have accessed the primary domain giganetwireless.net, then I navigated to SSL then I entered the company information then I selected 'Create Certificate' then chose 'Save'.

    The server generated a CSR and a Certificate too, however I want to buy a new NetSol SSL Certificate to install onto this server, can someone direct me to the steps to be taken to complete this task.

    I assume I must submit the CSR to NetSol and they will in-turn generate a SSL Certificate to be installed afterwards...

    Thanking you in advance for your help with this matter.

    Regards

    The server on port 81 has nothing to do with the website were you created the SSL cert. The SSL websites run on port 443.

    Please try to access ISPConfig with firefox and see if you gat any SSL error message.

    Hi Till

    Thank you for the response, and I aplogize for the lapse in response.

    I use FF as my primary web-browser, when I try to access https://giganetwireless.com:81/ the browser never times-out or resturns any sort of SSL error message.

    Thanking you in advance for your help with this matter.

    Did you try to connect with and without https on the IP address of the server instaed of the hostname?

    Hi Till

    Thank you for the reply...

    Here are my findings with your suggestion:

    1) When I try accessing ISPConfig VIA: https://65.197.209.3:81/
    The browser works and works but never even returns an error msg of any sort.

    2) When I try accessing ISPConfig VIA http://65.197.209.3:81/
    The server sends the browser to the Shared IP page from ISPConfig.


    Have a great day

    Regards

    Hi Falko...

    I just this evening got a chance to re-create the SSL cert for one of my two servers having this SSL OR ISPConfig access problem.

    Doing the following:
    Accessing ISPConfig is un-successful still.

    What's weird is one my NIX servers has a desktop on it and I can access either of the two servers ISPConfig VIA web-browser, yet on MS servers and PC's I am unable to access ISPConfig login VIA web-browser?

    Thanking you in advance for your help Falko

    Regards

    Please check all your firewalls if port 81 is blocked.
    Is the ISPConfig server in a LAN (behind a router), or is it connected directly to the internet (e.g. in a datacenter)?

    Thank you rof the reply Falko

    My servers are connected directly to the Internet.
    The workstations I am attempting to access ISPConfig from are however behind a firewall (2).

    I have added FW rules to my trunk interceptor and DS1 routers allowing port 81 traffic both in and outward bound.

    From any one of my workstations I am able to ping any one of the specific servers running ISPConfig at port 81.

    xx.xxx.xxx.x:81 successfully returns pings, this should indidcate that the firewall rule is allowing access to port 81 wouldn't it?

    However I am still unable to access ISPConfig on either server VIA web-browser...

    Would you still suggest FW tweaking Falko?

    Regards

    Sorry for the dual post

    This means it's not a firewall problem because you're at least getting a connection (although it was interrupted).
    I think you should recreate the SSL certificate, but this time please accept all default values. Don't enter custom data.

    Thank you Falko

    I regenerated the SSL cert using all default values as you suggested.

    When trying to access ISPConfig however I still get the same results running FF.

    Any errors in the error log in /root/ispconfig/httpd/logs?

    Thank you Falko

    I first tried accessing ISPConfig so any recorded errors generated by the SSL would appear at teh bottom of any logging.

    In error_log all errors were not from today.

    However, in ssl_request_log I see the following:
    Code:
    [27/Feb/2008:09:00:19 -0800] 65.197.209.2 TLSv1 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA "POST /multidoc/edit/edit.php HTTP/1.1" 5
    [27/Feb/2008:09:00:19 -0800] 65.197.209.2 TLSv1 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA "GET /multidoc/edit/edit.php?doctype_id=1013&tree_id=100& HTTP/1.1" 30280

    In ssl_engine_log I find the following:

    Code:
    [27/Feb/2008 09:00:54 32022] [info]  Connection to child 0 established (server www.giganetwireless.net:81, client 65.197.209.2)

    And in accesss_log I see the following:
