Cacti N00B trying to move log-on page to SSL

[dernwine]

Hello all,

I've been tasked with upgrading the cacti VM servers, which were running on Debian 6.06.
I created new Ubuntu server VM's (14.04), installed LAMP, cacti, etc.
Then got busy learning rrdtool and mysql to export/import database and dump/import *.rrd
files.

Was pretty proud of myself till boss said, "why isn't log-on page in https?"
After doing some research on forums I can't seem to find any definite (and recent) HOW-TO
to accomplish this.

Can anyone point me in right direction?

TIA

SSL has absolutely nothing to do with Cacti, you instead need to google
ubuntu apache ssl

Sorry, stated this wrong, I want to access log on page via https rather than http.

Thank you

Actually you are stating the same thing. You need to configure Apache (assuming you are using Apache) to enable SSL. Then you need to configure Apache to redirect normal HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

Cacti doesn't have anything to do with SSL, that is all controlled by the web server you installed and manage.
