NOTE : Instructions tested on CentOS/RHEL 5.4

To use SSL for CMS, we need to setup stunnel.

• Login as root user.

• Install stunnel

 yum install stunnel  

• Generate a certificate

cd /etc/stunnel
wget http://www.convirture.com/downloads/stunnel/RHEL/stunnel.cnf 
(umask 077; \
 /usr/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes \
   -config /etc/stunnel/stunnel.cnf \
   -out /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem -keyout /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem)

• Download configuration file.

 cd /etc/stunnel
 wget --no-cache http://www.convirture.com/downloads/stunnel/RHEL/RHEL_stunnel.conf -O stunnel.conf

• By default the SSL port is set to 8082, feel free to change it by changing stunnel.conf

 [convirt]
 accept = 8082
 connect = 8081

• start the stunnel

 stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

• Point the browser to the login page.

 https://machine-name:8082/login

 NOTE This assumes that ConVirt is already started using  ./convirt-ctl start
