That topic explains it perfectly.  Do this from the console but remember it is NOT RECOMMENDED:

Code: [Select]

config setprop imp access NOT_SECURE
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart

Surely https can be used for multiple apps.

It depends what you want to do, cause I have this problem too.

httpd serves port 443

I run SSL-Explorer - a java VPN solution. It works over https really well on a specified port. But the proxy I use from work only allows https connections on port 443 (initial connection only, I guess). So I can't use SSL-Explorer without moving httpd off port 443

I have to keep horde running for other people, but I would love to access SSL-Explorer as well.

The only thing I can think of is some firewall or mod_rewrite trickery that does something like

ssl.mydomain.com:443 -> mydomain.com:28081
webmail.mydomain.com -> mydomain.com/webmail:443

Maybe some SSL proxy solution may suggest itself that I can stick on port 443 and handle the redirections

Of course, this is SSL, so this sort of jiggery-pokery will probably break the security model.

Hi,

When I set my webmail access to http i used the following command:

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop imp access full
db configuration setprop imp status enabled
db configuration setprop horde access full
db configuration setprop horde status enabled
signal-event email-update

as stated by Byte in http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=32958.0

I was just wondering what the difference is, any pro's and con's and which is safer/better/more secure etc.

Thanks for your time

Kit
