Tortixd

Introduction

Tortixd is the web console daemon for ASL.

Settings

There is currently only one user configurable setting for Tortixd. That is the Access Control List system for tortixd.

ACL system

If you want to block access to tortixd, except from certain IPs, just add the IPs to this file:

/etc/asl/firewall/tortixd-access-list

One IP or CIDR per line. For example:

1.2.3.4 10.0.0.0/8

Then reload the ASL security policy:

asl -s -f

This will block, and log, any access to port 30000 from IPs not on that list. Repeated attempts to connect will result in a shun of the offending IP as well.

SSL certificates

If you wish to configure the ASL web console to use a different SSL certificate check with your SSL vendor for instructions for setting up SSL keys and certificates for Apache. Each SSL vendor may require you change different settings. The ASL web console SSL settings are provided in this file:

/var/asl/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

The following is provided as a courtesy, and should not be used unless you know what you are doing. Always follow the instructions of your SSL vendor.

Generic instructions

Step 1) Configure Apache to point to your SSL cert, key and CA bundle:

Important Note: These files must be in directories, and their permissions must be configured to allow the tortix user to read them. Unlike apache, for security reasons tortix does NOT start as root, and therefore cannot read any file on the system.

SSLCertificateFile

This is the path to your certificate file.

Example:

SSLCertificateFile /your/path/to/your.cert

SSLCertificateKeyFile

This is the path to your secret key.

Example:

SSLCertificateKeyFile /your/path/to/your.key

SSLCACertificateFile

This is the path to your certificate file. Your SSL provider will provide you with this file.

Example:

SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Step 2)

Restart tortixd:

service tortixd restart

Note: If you have questions about generating SSL keys and certs, please contact your SSL vendor.
