Third-party software integration: Apache SSL and more
Advanced configuration
If you don't want to show the /OpenKM context, try this as your VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName openkm.your-domain.com
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/OpenKM/
ProxyPassReverse / http://openkm.your-domain.com/OpenKM/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /OpenKM*
RewriteRule ^(/.*)$ http://localhost:8080$1 [P]
RequestHeader edit X-GWT-Module-Base ^(http://openkm.your-domain)/frontend/(.*)$ $1/OpenKM/frontend/$2
</VirtualHost>
You need also set the configuration parameter system.apache.request.header.fix to on (true). Note than in OpenKM 5.1 the configuration is stored in database and the OpenKM.cfg configuration only make sense in the database (Hibernate) configuration parameters.

If you see an error like:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration you need to enable this Apache module: $ sudo a2enmod rewrite $ sudo a2enmod proxy_http $ sudo a2enmod headers |
You have to enable explicitly the proxy access editing the Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
#spammers to use your proxy to send email.
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Deny from all
#Allow from .example.com
</Proxy>
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
ProxyVia On
</IfModule>
Finally restart Apache:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now you can access your OpenKM installation from http://openkm.your-domain.com/. Another advantage of using Apache is that you can log OpenKM access and generate web statistics.
SSL in Debian / Ubuntu
$ sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl $ sudo /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem $ sudo a2enmod ssl
Ensure ports 443 is listen in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Do the same task related to port 80 but changing the configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-available/openkm.conf with this content:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName openkm.your-domain.com
RedirectMatch ^/$ /OpenKM
<Location /OpenKM>
ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/OpenKM
ProxyPassReverse http://openkm.your-domain.com/OpenKM
</Location>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/openkm.your-domain.com-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/openkm.your-domain.com-access.log combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
</VirtualHost>
|
if you see some error like "[error] VirtualHost *:443 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results" add NameVirtualHost *:443 before <VirtualHost *:443> |
SSL in Red Hat / CentOS
$ sudo yum install mod_ssl openssl crypto-utils
Generate private keys ( for more information visit Apache HTTP Secure Server Configuration)
$ genkey your-domain.com
|
Normally you want to generate self-certificate and not sending to Certify Authority. Is good practice put some password on private key, but in this case each time you restart apache service it'll be demanded. |
During the process will be generated two files at
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/your-domain.com.cert SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/your-domain.com.key
Must modify the /etc/httpd/conf.d/openkm.conf file
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName your-domain.com
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/OpenKM/
ProxyPassReverse / http://your-domain.com/OpenKM/
ErrorLog /var/log/your-domain.com-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/your-domain.com-access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /OpenKM*
RewriteRule ^(/.*)$ http://localhost:8080$1 [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/your-domain.com.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/your-domain.com.key
</VirtualHost>
Finally must modify SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile values in file /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/your-domain.com.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/your-domain.com.key
Now you can access your OpenKM installation from http://openkm.your-domain.com/. Another advantage of using Apache is that you can log OpenKM access and generate web statistics.
