Access the interface

To access the Interface, you must point your Web Browser to the URL provided during installation.

By default the Configuration Tool is accessible on the dedicated port 7766 (HTTP). For example : http://172.16.1.130:7766

HTTPS

The UI can be now protected by an HTTPS access

  • The file /etc/shinken/synchronizer.cfg has new parameters.
     
  • To activate the HTTPS:
    • http_use_ssl=0
      • by default it is set to 0    (no HTTPS)
      • Set it to 1 to activate.
         
  • Set certificates by updating the 2 following parameters:
    • http_ssl_cert=/etc/shinken/certs/server.cert
    • http_ssl_key=/etc/shinken/certs/server.key
The files default files /etc/shinken/certs/server.cert and /etc/shinken/certs/server.key are just samples that are provided with the installation and MUST be changed by your own certificates.


Accessing to the UI will still use the default dedicated port 7766 (but in HTTPS).
