Topic: SSLExplorer for SME7.3

[edb]

I found a how-to to install SSLExplorer on SME6.5RC1 here http://www.symac.plus.com/html/howto/howto-ssl-explorer.html
but does anyone have an updated how-to for installation on SME7x?
Would sure appreciate it.

Thanks

The one for SME 7.1 may be appropriate.

Thanks william_syd

I assumed that there would be a newer version but I just couldn't find it, so thank you very much.

I can't seem to find the "sslexplorer_linux_0_2_14_01.rpm" mentioned in the How-To because it no longer seems to be available, the only file seems to be a "sslexplorer-1.0.0_RC17-src.zip" available now unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I did however, find the Linux rpm here http://www.sshtools.com/showSslExplorer.do

This is a very nice product that allows access to files in many different configurable ways like ftp, web, local files, and files located somewhere else like via smb, windows share points, etc.

FYI

I followed the How-To and it installed perfectly with the version of SSLExplorer available from here http://www.sshtools.com/showSslExplorer.do so I'm very happy.
Java installed without a hitch, sslexplorer installed without a hitch so it doesn't get any better than that.

Here is an updated How-To for SME7.3

STEP 1: Install SME Server
Carry out standard installation of SME Server

STEP 2: Install of Java 6.0 JRE
Download Linux RPM (self-extracting file) version of Java 6.0 JRE from:
www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp  (jre-6u6-linux-i586-rpm.bin @ time of writing)

Copy jre-6u6-linux-i586-rpm.bin to /root/apps/java on SME Server
Make this file executable, at the console

Code: [Select]

# cd /root/apps/java
# chmod a+x jre-6u6-linux-i586-rpm.binStart installation by extracting rpm from file

Code: [Select]

# ./jre-6u6-linux-i586-rpm.binType yes to agree to the license terms
Java JRE is now installed in usr/java/jre1.6.0_06


STEP 3: Install SSL Explorer
Download current version of SSL Explorer (sslexplorer_linux_rpm.zip) from
http://www.sshtools.com/showSslExplorer.do (*you should also register for the free 2 user license at this time)
Extract sslexplorer_linux_rpm.zip and copy sslexplorer_linux.rpm to /root/apps/sslexplorer
Run the rpm command on this rpm file
SSl Explorer will be installed to /opt/sslexplorer

Code: [Select]

# cd /root/apps/sslexplorer
# rpm -iv sslexplorer_linux.rpmSSl Explorer will be installed to /opt/sslexplorer

If you would like SSL Explorer to be configured as a service.
On SME 6.0-01 only (this step is not necessary on SME Server 7.1) to identify that the operating system is Redhat to the service install script create an empty file /etc/redhat-release

Code: [Select]

# touch /etc/redhat-release
To install the service. Run the following command

Code: [Select]

# /opt/sslexplorer/install/platforms/linux/install-service -j /usr/java/latest
So that the service will start automatically, a symbolic link to this service needs to be created in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d

Code: [Select]

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc7.d
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/sslexplorer S92sslexplorer
If you want to integrate SSL Explorer with Active Directory the hosts file need to be modified to include an entry for
the domain controler(s).

Code: [Select]

# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc
# cp -r /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/hosts /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc
#cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts
# touch 30hostname
# pico 30hostnameEnter the IP address for the Domain Controller and fully qualified name of the domain controller followed by the
netbios name of the domain controller.

e.g 192.168.0.2 server.domain.local server

Then use expand-template to create the modified hosts file

Code: [Select]

# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/hosts



STEP 4: Configure SSL Explorer

Run the SSL Explorer Install Wizard:

Code: [Select]

# cd /opt/sslexplorer
# ./install-sslexplorerSSL Explorer will start at the console in configuration mode.

This will show a URL (http://localhost:28080) to use for initial configuration of SSL Explorer.
Access the web based set up procedure from a browser on a PC on the local network using the URL
http://IP_Address_of_SME_Server:28080
Follow "Part Installation Wizard" in the SSL Explorer Getting Started Guide PDF at
http://3sp.com/products/sslexplorer/documentation/Getting_Started_Guide.pdf

In addition you need to change the port for SSL Explorer WEB Server. At Step 4 Configure web server' as Port 443 is already used for HTTPS by the SME Server Web Server, change the port to an unused one.
We used port 28081.
Shutdown SSL Explorer from the Web browser



STEP 5: Start SSL Explorer

Either: If you installed SSL Explorer as a service type:
   

Code: [Select]

# service sslexplorer start
You can check that the SSL Explorer service has started by:
   

Code: [Select]

# service sslexplorer status
Or: Run SSL Explorer in console mode, type:
   

Code: [Select]

# ./sslexplorer-console


STEP 6: Complete Configuration of SSL Explorer

At a PC on the local network use a browser to go to URL:
https://IP_Address_of_SME_Server:28081 (or whatever port you used in step 4)

Login with superuser username and chosen password to complete configuration of SSL Explorer and as a last step import the license so that you can configure your Network Places.



Now you can begin sharing files, manuals, intranet sites, etc and you will ultimately ask yourself
“how did I ever get along without this sofware?”.

Enjoy

Hi

Run the rpm command on this rpm file
SSl Explorer will be installed to /opt/sslexplorer

Code: [Select]

# cd /root/apps/sslexplorer
# rpm -iv sslexplorer_linux.rpm

better:

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall sslexplorer_linux.rpm


To install the service. Run the following command

Code: [Select]

# /opt/sslexplorer/install/platforms/linux/install-service -j /usr/java/latest
So that the service will start automatically, a symbolic link to this service needs to be created in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d

Code: [Select]

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc7.d
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/sslexplorer S92sslexplorer

I suggest, for better integration with SME:

Code: [Select]

config set sslexplorer service status enabled
cd /etc/rc.d/rc7.d
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service S92sslexplorer

In this way you can enable/disable sslexplorer with

Code: [Select]

config setprop sslexplorer status enabled/disabled

Very good!
Thank you for posting that ...

[edb]

I can seem to access sslexplorer using my internal server IP but cannot seem to access it when using the public IP or www URL.
Sme Server netstat -a shows it is listening on the port I specified in setup? xxxx=port number

tcp        0      0 server.mydomain.com:xxxx      *:*                         LIST
EN
tcp        0      0 SERVER.MYDOMAIN.com:xxxx      *:*                         LIST
EN

[edb]

Resolved the issue regarding external access ....

Code: [Select]

[root@~]# config set sslexplorer service access public status enabled TCPPort xxxx
[root@~]# config show sslexplorer
sslexplorer=service
    TCPPort=xxxx
    access=public
    status=enabled
[root@~]# signal-event remoteaccess-update
Then try again to type your external url:xxxx and it should work.

Please post the instructions in the wiki in the Category:Howto (as well). The wiki is also more suitable for collaborative editing.

Ok, will do ...

howto install sslexplorer free  help ..
http://3sp.com/showSslExplorerFreeRegistration.do is not work ?
i send mail to To: <sales@3sp.com>

Subject: I have not received my license
I'm afraid that the 2 user free license is no longer available, as the
software version of SSL-Explorer has been discontinued. This is because
SSL-Explorer is being relaunched as a hardware appliance only in about 2-3
weeks time.

The only license that can be generated at the moment is a 90 day evaluation
license, after which the only option to use SSL-Explorer would be to
purchase the appliance. Please let me know if you would still like an
evaluation license.

There are no pricing details confirmed yet, but there should be an
announcemed later today at 9am Eastern Standard Time.

Regards,

Chris Dakin.
