Give the processor some work to do
I created certificates to be used to run the protected sites over SSL, so port 443 in stead of 80. There are some issues with it – since all sites share the same IP address, I must use one shared certificate for all: *.grootersnet.nl as target.
The basic drive to get this working was a request to access the researcher’s genealogy website. A new request for access has been granted and i thought it a good moment to update the site, and install a different access scheme – including usage of SSL.
The same applies to the operator desk, at least part of it should be protected (all, for now) and obviously webmail.
The latter proved to be most problematic. A nasty error “Object protection violation” messaeg shows up, even after reversing the change. It boiled down tom an error in the configuration file, where a specific entry allowed access without login – hence REMOTE_USER remained empty, causing this error. It took a few hours to get it all properly working but in the end, all runs smoothly – taking a lot more time to finish.
