https GUI not opening .

I have been using the lpar2rrd GUI at port 80 , recently my network team asked me to move to port 443 as 80 is not secure , They have opened the firewall request and it is process(as per them ) , However i changed the setting Listen in httpd.conf file to Listen 443 , and restarted the apache , Even then i am still unable to get the page .

  • here is the docu how to do it:


    just set https in Apache, it is all, check Google how to set https in your Apache version.


    1. install mod_ssl package or make sure it is already installed

    # dnf install mod_ssl

    # rpm -qa| grep ssl

    mod_ssl-2.4.18-1



    2. edit httpd.conf and include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf into Apache cfg (use /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on Linux)

    vi /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


    # Secure (SSL/TLS) connections

    Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf



    3. To stop http comment out its listen port: (use /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on Linux)


    vi /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


    Listen 80

    -->

    #Listen 80


    4.

    optionally you can provide your own certificate

    Create CSR and let it sign https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-generate-a-csr-certificate-signing-request-in-linux/

    Set a path in Apache to  the certificate in SSL.conf and to CA which signed it (SSLCertificateChainFile) https://www.ssls.com/knowledgebase/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-on-apache/

    in apache ssl.conf you will find a path where to put it


    5. apache restart


    AIX: /opt/freeware/bin/apachectl restart

    Linux: apachectl restart

  • This is for AIX and if I use OpenSSL version in rpm there will be conflict ?
