How To Enable SSL

[islipfd19]

Is there any possible way to enable SSL without breaking zwave and the web interface on Pi?

No, the built-in web server module is built without SSL support. Why would you need to have SSL in the intranet?
And find.z-wave.me offers SSL for external connections.

If you need SSL that bad, make zway listen only on 127.0.0.1 interface, and use nginx with SSL to proxy requests.

Just to see if it can be done. Yes, I would agree; why would anyone need SSL on their own private network? For the paranoid, sending a password to login to a site without SSL is risky even on a private network.

I had begun to play attempting to proxy zway using nginx but the page keeps refreshing. Which files need to be updated in zway for it to listen on 127.0.0.1? This may be the culprit to the constant refresh.

In automation/Webserver.js replace

Code: Select all

ws = new WebServer(8083, function(req) {

with

Code: Select all

ws = new WebServer("127.0.0.1:8083", function(req) {

Great, thanks! After updating that file I still had issues with getting it to work. But I finally got it to work. For those that may also be interested; I'll type up a how to in the recipes sub-forum.

Are you aware of Dolpheen's post there Is there a need to update that one? (I have no knowledge of this so I can't judge)

[islipfd19]

Yes, I'm aware of his post and tried following it. It didn't work and I'm not entirely sure why, I believe it has something to do with .htpasswd. The latest version 2.1.1 now using authentication.

Could you close this thread? I created the How To located here viewtopic.php?f=3424&t=22053
