RMS and Dolphin running on SSL

Anybody ever got RMS running on a website that is using SSL (HTTPS) only? Everything in dolphin runs fine just no Flash Apps like chat can connect to RMS. I tried lots with the red5 properties and ports but nothing helps.

Does RMS/Red5 needs to use SSL also if dolphin is running under SSL? Somebody knows? What do I have to configure to get this working?

if this is your own rms server - you may have to add the domain to the access file - i dont know if you already added it as is, or if you need to add https:// in front of your domain name.

I am just guessing though.

Yes but as I thought about it my rms is on a http domain but my entire site is on https except that. it has not caused any issues...

ok, to add more confusion - not on purpose though - and for my own understanding, this is what I am thinking.

So - when usingan rms, you only need to add the ip address of the rms server in the dolphin admin? and also make sure the domain is listed in the access list of the rms?

so, technically, it shoudlnt matter what the domain or protocol is?

UNLESS, a firewall is blocking access to the rms from ports other than (80)?

thats my process of thinking, I hope I havent made the confusion any worse.

RMS worked perfectly until I switched to HTTPS via header.Inc.php $siteurl ....And no I even deactivated the firewall its just not connecting, so i guessed it needs also to run on HTTPS in some way.

 

so I really need to do nothing if it runs before? I don't understand why it stops working. RMS is on the same machine as dolphin.

 

Edit: Solved it. First of all, its working like expected. Just switch to https via inc/header.inc.php and everything is fine. The problem comes from somewhere else. Because when calling http://www.example.com dolphin doesn't rewrite to https://www.example.com we added

Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/

to the vhosts configuration file. If this line is in the conf the flash apps cannot access RMS anymore.

It's always the same, you cannot find a solution for a long time, you post your problem here and then shortly after you did that you find it. Sometimes its good to sleep over it one night. LOL.

i am glad you found the solution, cause once everything is buttoned down on my site, i will be switching to complete https - so thanks for bringing this up.

I found out it only happens when this URL is rewritten to https

/flash/XML.php, which is also located in the domain.xml of RMS/Red5. I don't know much about Red5 and how it is integrated as RMS into dolphin but excluding this URL from being rewritten by apache solves all problems, even the code line i added above works.

Just for info

BTW: Don't forget to change the hardcoded codeparts for youtube/flash embedding in dolphins source or your site cert breaks.
