General

I try to test manageiq monitoring to hawkular with docker image. I made manageiq docker container with the following commands

docker pull manageiq/manageiq:euwe-1
docker run --privileged -d -p 8443:443 manageiq/manageiq:euwe-1

I can see the container be generated and run. However I can not connect to ManageIQ with my web browser with this url https://127.0.0.1:8443 . In log files of manageiq docker container inside show the error like below,

[ssl:warn] [pid 815] AH01909: RSA certificate configured for 172.17.0.2:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

I am struggling with this error until now. Your any help will be deeply appreciated. Best regards.

I solved it. The reason is the https connection is not set on the docker container. This is the process,

  1. enter the container

docker exec -ti CONTAINER_ID bash –l

2.on the container, find server.crt and server.key files

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# find / -name server.crt

/opt/manageiq/manageiq-ui-service/node_modules/browser-sync/lib/server/certs/server.crt

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# find / -name server.key

/opt/manageiq/manageiq-ui-service/node_modules/browser-sync/lib/server/certs/server.key

  1. Then edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file like below

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

ServerName localhost:8443 #specify the server name

SSLProtocol -All +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2 # type ssl protocol

SSLCertificateFile /opt/manageiq/manageiq-ui-service/node_modules/browser-sync/lib/server/certs/server.crt # type the location folder of server.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /opt/manageiq/manageiq-ui-service/node_modules/browser-sync/lib/server/certs/server.key # type the location folder of server.key

  1. set httpd allow the https

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# systemctl restart httpd

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# yum install firewalld -y

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# systemctl start firewalld

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# systemctl enable firewalld

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent

success

[root@17a6a6bd8743 vmdb]# firewall-cmd --reload

success

OK! the configuration is set perfectly. Connect https://localhost:8443 and enjoy!!
