SSL Support

[jasonheecs]

I think it would be great if there was an automated way to provision the Vagrant box for self-signed SSL support. Maybe it should be a bash script that the user can run? What do you think?

Hi Jason, here is how I enable SSL on this environment:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo a2enmod ssl

sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssl/private/
sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key 4096

# User input

sudo openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key -out /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.csr

# User input

sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.csr -signkey /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key -out /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.crt

# User input

sudo openssl rsa -in /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key -out /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key.insecure

# User input

sudo mv /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key.secure
sudo mv /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key.insecure /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key

sudo service apache2 restart

And in magento2.conf replace contents with the following. It is better not to use mixed mode so when HTTPS is enabled HTTP should be disabled:

<IfModule ssl_module>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName magento2.vagrant
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/magento2.vagrant.key

        DocumentRoot /<your_path>/magento2ce
        <Directory /<your_path>/magento2ce>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

And there is tricky part, when you try to enable/disable varnish (see https://github.com/paliarush/magento2-vagrant-for-developers/blob/2.0/scripts/guest/configure_varnish), your 443 host may be reset.

Jason, if you can resolve issues with varnish and eliminate user input steps - I would be glad to see a PR from you.

Hi @paliarush, yeah, I experimented around with it, and it seems really tricky. Varnish doesn't support SSL termination. How about installing Nginx on the Vagrant box and using it as a SSL termination proxy?

Edit: Nevermind, the same issue with Varnish seem to occur even if you use Nginx instead of openssl. May need to relook at this from another perspective.
