thierry, please keep this exchange on the list so that other people might benefit from it. i can't advise you on specific setups involving site roots or access rules. i personally use nothing but a virtual host monster in all my setups because that is the easiest. with a VHM setup it would not be hard to add rewrite rules to apache that deal exclusively with manage-pages. maybe someone else using site roots/access rules can help. jens On Thursday, February 21, 2002, at 11:34 , Thierry Florac wrote:

Hi...

Well, I've tried to do what you say, i.e. installing apache-ssl and creating a few rewrite rules, but I also have SiteRoot objects which transform links URLs to "http://...". So I think my problem can't be solved so easilly, as long as I'm not an expert with SSL or mod_rewrite...

Should I have to use "Access rules" also ?? But I can't find any good documentation about them...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Thierry

P.S. : if this can help : I can access the Zope site through SSL without many problems ; but as soon as I want to access ZMI, I receive a first message saying "You have requested an encrypted page containing unencrypted informations...", and then every frame of the ZMI only display a message saying "you don't have permission to access /manage_... on this server"... Any idea ??

there is a ZServer SSL package available somewhere (i think you might find it if you search zope.org), but for most people the easiest is probably using apache and mod_ssl and then some creative rewrite rules in apache' s configuration that catch all requests to management screens and redirect them to a https address.

Hi...

I'd like to let users access my Zope web site normally through HTTP, but make my Zope management screens (in fact, any URL containing '/manage') only available through HTTPS.

I'm actually using Zope with Apache and mod_rewrite rules using proxy [P].

How could I do this...?

Thanks for any help...
