ownCloud 7 - Self Signed SSL Certificate seems not to work properly

Chris92 · 24. Dezember 2014

Hello,
I have problem with SSL self signed certificate created in OMV - in general i used tekkb tutorial ownCloud 7 install with current plugin to install ownCloud 7 on my OMV system. I did it from scratch, and certificate was associated with my ISP WAN IP (not OMV local). Also i have static IP (without DNS). When i log into ownCloud (from Chrome, Internet Explorer, or my Android 2.3.4 smartphone browser) even from Incognito mode after clearing browser cookies - i get some errors including red crossed out "https" and some bad logs in admin panel (i attached screens).

Code

cat /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php

gives output:

PHP

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => '191148349197013992373524026681873899561',

  ),
  'installed' => true,
  'loglevel' => '0',
);

Of course i forwarded port 8443 in my router to local IP of omv system.

Thank you for any help in advance and Merry Christmas

The crossed out red https is normal for self signed ssl. The error is just because it is not signed but in your pics the SSL is working correctly. To not have the warning and the crossed https you would need to use signed certificates.

The other errors you have in regards to instance id there is a fix. Read the posts towards the end of my Guide.

Yes, i missed your post update about instance id - so it's fixed.

About self signed SSL - is it possible to use in OMV free properly signed certificates like StartSSL? Or maybe if its about private cloud, maybe i could connect it by HTTP, then i not get communicate that "connection is not private and is risky"?

It is possible to get your certs signed by StartSSL. Your connection is private with the self signed. It just says that because the cert cannot be verified by a certificate authority. I would not worry about it being any more risky then a signed cert. You know it is your domain you are connecting to. It is a big deal when you are connecting to someone else's site that you are not sure of the owner. Maybe sometime in the New Year I write some stuff on signing certs. This is one thing that drives me crazy. Firefox users are lucky, cuz of override, but I am not fan of FF.

There are some posts on the forum in regards to StartSSL. You might search the forum for more information.

Ok, thank you tekkb for info.

/var/www/owncloud/config/config.php

'forcessl' => false,

You might want to make this true.... You should do the xframe restriction stuff I said too and use the updated javascript files. It is much nicer.

I did what you have said later, but because 14) point of your guide is about login, so after i have logged in i saw this https red crossed and errors in log. Tips you are about are described further in your guide so that's why my logs shows it before this fixes.
Now i wonder why my ownCloud doesn't has default Music Player App installed? Every screen of ownCloud 7 i "google" appear that it has Music player, when i dont have it. Should i install it as 3rd party app?
