SSL and provisioning

Posted by rolavarria on Tue, 08/17/2010

Hey,

We have the MTE version of thridlane, and want my Yealink phones to provision through HTTPS.

To do this, I´ve activated SSL on webmin, and changed the port to 443. When I make these changes I get the following message on the miniserv.error file:

[16/Aug/2010:17:40:51 -0400] Restarting
Pre-loaded WebminCore
[16/Aug/2010:17:40:52 -0400] miniserv.pl started
[16/Aug/2010:17:40:52 -0400] PAM authentication enabled
Failed to initialize SSL connection

[16/Aug/2010:17:41:16 -0400] miniserv.pl started
[16/Aug/2010:17:41:16 -0400] PAM authentication enabled

If I connect to the server though https with a browser, everything is OK. But when I provision my phones, they don´t seem to be getting the file.

They can be provisioned with no problems in HTPP.

I don´t know what I could be doing wrong.... any ideas??
Thanks!

go into the webmin configuration and tell it to use the certificate if available.. hit save (even if it already said that hit save)

webmin is an either/or it is either SSL or it isnt. Its currently not, hence your port 80 connections working.

once its enabled all your connections will be SSL encrypted. Your next challenge could come in the form of a self-signed certificate. Browsers let you connect after a warning, phones may or may not continue.
