Title: primary web site only accessible by https
Post by: SSBN on November 05, 2003, 07:54:51 PM

I was wondering is there a way to make your primary web site only accessible by https. By default it looks like you can use both. http and https.

Is there an add-on that would let me block port 80 and just have 445 open. That would do it for only allowing secure access to my web server wouldn’t it.

Not with a minor customisation to the firewall script, /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq;  creating any empty AllowHTTP firewall template should negate the affects of the standard template:

# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/
# touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/45AllowHTTP
# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

(Untested.)

Should read "Not without a minor customisation...".

I am using 5.6. Do any of you know if there are any contribs that will give a web based firewall interface. I looked on contribs.org and found nothing.
