Using FOP2 with HTTPS having issues

netvoice

I have recently changed from using FOP2 thru http to https and I can log in thru http with the credentials and it works fine but when I try to get in with http it takes me to the login screen but stays hung up and times out when trying to login cant seem to put my finger on the problem I imagine it is a problem with how flash is interpreting the https at login any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

Hi,

What FOP2 version are you using? Try disabling websockets in /var/www/html/fop2/js/presence.js (and flush your browser cache after the change).

FOP 2.27 supports secure websockets (wss), the reason is it still in beta is because websockets is still undergoing implementation changes on browsers. One of the "gotchas" on using ssl/tls is that brwosers require you to accept the certificate as you do it when browsing an https site with a self signed certificate, but when you use websockets, there is no confirmation window to accept the certificate, thus the wss connection stalls.

I have also seen some websocket connections failings when passing through certain routers (connetion worked fine within the same LAN, but failed when connecting via the internet through a router). The flash xmlsocket worked on this cases, but for some reason websocket connections failed.
