Secury authorization amule support
« on: May 25, 2005, 10:30:52 PM »

Hi everyone, I've recently installed amule 2.0.1 on my FC2 server. I use amuled to launch amule and amuleweb to see its downloads' progress. Everything seems to work perfectly. The only BUT is when I type my password and press the login button. All data is transfer in as-clear-as-water format. Therefore, my questions is predictable:

How can I add SSL or HTTPS support to my  amule web??  ?(

Thank you very much in advance! :)

PS: I also have Apache with SSL module installed and working fine. Actually, I used in my webmail login page.

The easy way is to use ssh port forwarding and benefit from ssh security (proven and tested). Just run amuled and amuleweb on the same host with both external connections and amuleweb ports closed in the firewall config on that host. Also run sshd on the same host (server). Configure ssh port forwarding on your remote client, e.g.:

ssh -NfL 8047:localhost:4711 your.amuled.remote.host

Then you can point your browser to:

http://localhost:8047/

and get connected to your amuled/amuleweb server through a secure ssh tunnel.
The instructions are for Linux/Unices but you can do the same thing under Windows using one of the free ssh implementations for Win32. I'd recommend Bitvize Tunnelier:

I am not aware of any free ssh server for Win32 but there should be some. Bitvize has one but it is not free.
