Setting up https secure connection

Installing SSL

In new MOR (starting from X14) and M2 installs, SSL with self-signed certificate is preconfigured (using external sever IP). If you have older MOR and M2 installations, and SSL was not configured previously, you can configure self-signed certificate in MOR/M2 by running the following script:

For MOR:

svn update /usr/src/mor
/usr/src/mor/x14/gui/ssl_install.sh 

For M2:

svn update /usr/src/m2
/usr/src/m2/gui/ssl_install.sh 

And restart httpd service

service httpd restart

Clear browser cache before testing redirect. Otherwise it might not work.

Allow only https

If you would like your users to be automatically redirected to secure connection (https), add the line to /etc/httpd/conf.d/m2.conf so it would look like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html
 <Directory /var/www/html>
  Allow from all
 </Directory>
 RailsBaseURI /billing
 <Directory /var/www/html/billing>
  Options -MultiViews
 </Directory>
 RailsEnv production
 Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/     #Add this one. Put your hostname instead of www.example.com
</VirtualHost>

Configure Domain Name

If you have domain name, replace IP_ADDRESS (which will be your external IP address) with your domain name and regenerate certification files with new information with command bellow:

 openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -nodes  -x509   -keyout /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.key -out  /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.crt

Enter information as requested, in common name section please enter your domain name.

And restart httpd service

service httpd restart

Cron Actions

If SSL redirection is enabled, ensure that hourly actions are able to access GUI internally:

wget http://127.0.0.1/billing/callc/hourly_actions

if it does not work, adjust domain or add --no-check-certificate.

Once command works, make same adjustments on /etc/cron.d/mor_hourly_actions, mor_daily_actions and mor_monthly_actions.

!!!DO NOT TEST RUN daily AND monthly ACTIONS MANUALLY!!! just adjust cron files, save then and restart crond service.
