SSL Implementation for Both the Portal and Data Collection
To implement SSL for both the Portal and Data Collection, the Portal server must be configured with two IP addresses, one for the Portal and one for Data Collection. The two required IP addresses may be implemented using two NICs. If only a single NIC is available, a virtual interface may be added for the second IP address.
See Add a virtual interface to a Linux server.
See Add a virtual / secondary IP address on Windows.
Verify the following from /opt/apache/conf/httpd-ssl.conf on Linux host or from C:\opt\apache\conf\httpd-ssl.conf in case of Windows host:
- Verify there is a VirtualHost section with the IP address assigned to the Portal host. This section starts with the following lines. These lines must be present and enabled.
<VirtualHost IP_ADDRESS_PORTAL:443> ServerName itanalyticsportal.domainname:443 Document Root /opt/aptare/portal ... </VirtualHost>
- Replace IP_ADDRESS_PORTAL in the VirtualHost declaration with the IP address assigned to the Portal server.
- Verify there is a VirtualHost section with the Data Receiver IP address. This section starts with the following lines. These lines must be present and enabled.
<VirtualHost IP_ADDRESS_DATARCVR:443> ServerName itanalyticsagent.domainname:443 DocumentRoot /opt/aptare/datarcvr ... </VirtualHost>
- Replace IP_ADDRESS_DATARCVR in the Virtual Host declaration with the IP address assigned to the Data Receiver.
- Set the Document Root paths to valid paths for the Web Server's OS.
