security - How to configure SSL with apache2/httpd mass virtual hosting using mod_vhost_alias

I have been searching quite a bit now but couldn't find any answers.



I'm using httpd 2.2.15 and Centos 6.2.



I have configured apache for mass virtual hosting. I.e.:



UseCanonicalName off

VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/%0


I will have the same "main" domain with different subdomains pointing to the virtual hosts. I have created a self-signed cert for testing purpose with common name *.mydomain.com. There's one IP for the entire server.



How can I configure apache to use ssl for my vhosts?



And if possible, added to above I would like to achieve this as well:





  1. Can I define a directory, or preferable some files (e.g. login page), that should be excluded from the ssl? All vhosts are basically different instances of the same application (except the ones I mention in 2 below).


  2. Can I define some vhosts that should not use ssl (I have full control of the subdomain name for those). This will be two application, my home-page (www) and some administrative application. If it's not possible to make exceptions, I guess I will just put those on another server.




Except the ones I mentioned in 2 above, all virtual hosts will be created automatically based on users request.



Based on @Shanes comment, I update: If the user use https:// when they shouldn't, it's good if they are redirected to http://. If that's not possible I guess it's ok if they get an error message. It's of course ok if BOTH http and https works, as long as http works for the unprotected files (this may be the preferred choice actually).



I could find examples of how to do this using mod-rewrite with the exception that it wasn't for mass-domains (i.e. < VirtualHost > was used).




What's the tricks for achieving this?



If not possible, I would be most happy to get some hints about how to do this.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...
