Running rt-server with SSL certificate

RT Users
1

Helle List,

Is there a how-to that explains on how to run rt-server with a ssl
certificate. We have a wildcard cert that we want to use on our RT
installation.

Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Actually, there is nothing about RT. You have to look how to run web-server
with SSL. For ex. module for apache is mod_ssl.
RT in this case is simply a backend (like php, perl, python) that
generates you content.On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 1:47 PM, Mayk Backus backus@nlcom.nl wrote:

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply.

We start RT with the rt-server command located in the sbin directory of RT.
It’s a own kind of daemon of RT that listens on a port.

Thanks again, regards,

Mayk

That’s only intended for development and experimental use, really. For production use, you should run RT from a “real” web server. The documentation that’s included in the tar ball describes how to integrate it with Apache.

Well. You can start rt-server with plackup as any other psgi app. This
way you can use all features of any Plack/PSGI server.

Patch for Starman to do SSL:

I don’t know any other method to do this. Anyway, running rt-server
without front-end proxy is not good idea.
