Hello Everybody,

I have installed and configured openerp 5.0.6 on ubuntu8.04LTS server. It's working perfectly.

In addition to that I am trying to configure HTTPS for my openerp server (https://192.168.1.100) since two days but still not successful. Can anybody please guide me with the step by step approach to configure it?

Waiting for your reply.

Hello,

do you mean https for client-web or https as a support of ssl layer for xml-rpc-secure protocole ?
regards

Hello Dominique ,

Thanks for your mail.

Honestly! I am a newbie for openerp, I have never ever used it. But I have done the installation and configuration with the help of some online documentations. Thanks to the GOOGLE..!!!!

And yes I mean https for client-web. I have already gone through various online stuffs but still could not get success.

Also please suggest me which one will be the more secure from https for client-web and https as a support of ssl layer for xml-rpc-secure.

Please help me..!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.

htpps for client web encrypts communication between your web browser and client-web server which is connected to openerp-server
xml-rpc-secure encrypts communication between your openerp-client and openerp-server.
To enable https for client-web, you can use a web server like apache2 and use its proxy function. Apacahe2 on-line documentation is excellent.
To enable xml-rpc-secure, create your rsa/dsa keys and put them at the root of your server, then start it with --secure option.
hope this helps.

Hi Dominique,

As you said I have tried with Apache2 and used its proxy function also. But still no luck. Please go through my below apache2 and openerp-web config files which I am using on my server and please suggest me if I am doing anything wrong or missing anything within it.

My HTTPS config for openerp serve is end up with this. But still for URL :"https://amerpweb.com" my Firefox displaying "Address Not Found" error.

Please help me...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please.

Waiting for your reply.

@manojb: di you get it running?

I don't see any obvious errors in your config.

Where did you come across:
base_url_filter.on = True
base_url_filter.use_x_forwarded_host = False
base_url_filter.base_url = "https://amerpweb.com"
I do not see these in the std config file.

You've also tried tools.proxy.on=true ?

I've been using as a guideline:
http://doc.openerp.com/install/linux/we ... web-client
I can connect and login via https, but the website is all wrong, CSS seems to be missing and links don't work.

I think the CSS is broken because /cp_widgets/openerp/css/treegrid.css cannot be found (issues connecting to 127.0.0.1)

So I found a solution for myself anyway, add trailing slash to ProxyPass, i.e.
in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl
