Litespeed

Does ASL work with LiteSpeed?

Litespeed does not apparently work with secure kernels, such as the ASL kernel. If you use Litespeed, you may not be able to use a secure kernel such as the ASL kernel. If you do use the ASL kernel, with Litespeed, and Litespeed does not work please know that this is not something we can resolve. This is a due to a bug in Litespeed, and you will need to open a support case with Litespeed. Due to the closed nature of Litespeed, this is not something we can fix in Litespeed and not something we can change in the kernel (the bug attempts to open a hole in the kernel, which would make the system less secure and is not something we can or will do with the ASL kernel).

Litespeed, like all HTTP based servers, may be protected through the ASL T-WAF module.

How to install the T-WAF

As root, run this command:

yum install asl-waf-module

How to configure the T-WAF for litespeed

Step 1) Log into ASL.

Step 2) Click on the "Configuration" tab.

Step 3) Click on the "WAF" tab and select "WAF configuration".

Step 4) Click the "Add" button.

Step 5) Select "Local Web Server" from the "Add protection for" drop down.

Step 6) Select the port that litespeed runs on. Normally this is port 80.

Step 7) Check the SSL box

Enter the file system path to your SSL certificate, and SSL key in the "Path to SSL Certificate" and "Path to SSL Key file" boxes.

Step 8) Click Save

Note: Litespeed does not support the WAF in embedded mode.
