Sophos Upgrade, SSL goes away on CSM/End User Web UI

Posted on by

Today we upgraded sophos puremessage on all servers, and in doing so we had several issues with the end user web ui.  First it switched over to IPv6, to solve that:

1.  Add this to /etc/modprobe.conf

# added 2/5/09 to disable ipv6 from starting -NJW
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

2.  Update “NETWORKING_IPV6=no” in /etc/sysconfig/network

Then in /opt/pmx/etc/manager/httpd2/ssl Update default.conf to this:

# HTTPS Port — see old/ directory for previous/default config -NJW 2/5/2009
Listen *:28080
<VirtualHost *:28080>
SSLCertificateFile etc/manager/httpd2/sophos2007.pem
SSLEngine On
Include etc/manager/httpd2/rpc.conf
</VirtualHost>

Basically just changing to SSL for the port 28080.

Finally restart the server (required for IPv6 kernel?).  If you see yourself needing to update the httpd configs, just restart it as the pmx user each time:

pmx-httpd restart
