Enable SSL (Apache)

Set up an SSL certificate for your IBM Aspera Faspex Web UI.

1. Verify or update Apache's SSL configuration file and save.

   You will find your Apache SSL configuration file in the following location:

   OS Version	File
   32-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
   64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

   Update the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile information within httpd-ssl.conf so that it corresponds with the certificate path(s) and file name(s) that you have created or are currently using. For example:

   ...			
   SSLCertificateFile     /path/to/my_cert_name.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile  /path/to/my_key_name.key
   ...

   Note that SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateFile have been provided in the "/conf" directory for testing purposes.

2. Restart your Apache Web Server and test your SSL connection.

   Restart Apache using the following command:

   asctl apache:restart

   Then, go to the https://<your-server-ip-or-name>/aspera/faspex to test your SSL setup. Note that this must be the same hostname that you entered into the common name field when creating your certificate. For details, please refer to Create an SSL Certificate (Apache).
