[HOW TO] How to secure your sentora panel with SSL (HTTPS) easy guide

[carl.victor]

a little bit different from the tutorial
moved sentora to port 2083, same as Cpanel

1. i created new configuration files /etc/sentora/configs/apache/http-panel-redir.conf
here is the configuration to force redirection from port 80 to port 2083

Code:

<virtualhost *:80>
  ServerName sentora.mydomain.tld
  RewriteEngine on
  ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^2083$
  RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}:2083/$1 [NC,R,L]
</virtualhost>

then add this line to /etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd.conf

Code:

Include /etc/sentora/configs/apache/http-panel-redir.conf

2. go to Server Admin > Sentora Config > set sentora apache port to 2083

3. go to Apache Admin, add these SSL configs to Global Sentora Entry

Code:

SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder on
SSLCipherSuite "CDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNU$
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/my-certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/my-key.decr.key
SSLCACertificateFile /path/to/my/root.ca.pem

4. restart apache, run the daemon using

Code:

php -q /etc/sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php

this configuration also works well if you want to redirect sentora panel fqdn only to ssl port (443)
just change the rewrite rules in first step to 

Code:

<virtualhost *:80>
   ServerName sentora.mydomain.tld
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
   RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</virtualhost>

and change Sentora Apache port to 443

when requesting sentora fqdn (via port 80), it will redirects you to desired port and protocol (https)
but when requesting ip address, it will redirects to the first website listed in httpd-vhosts.conf
just a little protection to my sentora login page with noob-ways
