Configuring SSL-Explorer to use OpenGroupware is a simple process. By taking advantage of SSL-Explorer you are able to move your OpenGroupware server to a more secure network location. SSL-Explorer will act as an intermediary between clients and OpenGroupware, proxying web traffic and encrypting the data with SSL. You can also take advantage of the layered authentication schemes to provide greater security measures.
The steps we recommend to configure OpenGroupware and SSL-Explorer are as follows:
If you wish to automate the OpenGroupware login process you will want to go to the User Attributes page and create two new user attributes, called OGWUsername and OGWPassword, these must be set so that the user can edit their values. These attributes will be used in the authenticate page during the web forward creation. (Note: Users must specify their OpenGroupware username and password for each attribute, found in the 'Personal Details' page, for the web forward to operate correctly) - Create a Reverse Proxy web forward.
- In the resource wizard enter the path to the OpenGroupware application in the destination URL field. e.g. http://serverIP/OpenGroupware.woa/x/login. If you do not want to automate the login process http://serverIP/OpenGroupware will be enough
- In the 'paths' text area, enter the following:
/OpenGroupware
- On the authentication details page select POST from the 'Form Type' option. Then in the 'Form Parameters' text field we must enter the following parameters, user attributes can be selected from the attribute selection function.(Note: If you do not wish to automate the login process then you may ignore this step):
login=${attr:OGWUsername}
password=${attr:OGWPassword}
loginbutton=login
- Assign the resource to a suitable policy.
- Click 'Finish' to complete the wizard and save the web forward. If you do not wish to automate the login process then you can finish the setup here.
