Hi. I have installed Gluu in AWS, and as it says on the install page, I used the private address, but even with tunneling from putty, I'm not able to access the login page. What else can I do? Thanks.

Though you installed Gluu server with private IP address but for accessing the login page from my computer's browser, I would add the 'public_ip gluu_server_hostname' in my computer's /etc/hosts file. After that, try that hostname_of_gluu_server in your browser; see how that's going.

Thanks. But it simply won't load. It gives me the warning for an insecure page, with no certificate which is normal for this test environment; after that, it won't load anything. It even gets to change the URL from https://localhost to https://ec2.gluu.info/identity/, but that's it.

Please check if 443 port is open or not.

>> It even gets to change the URL from https://localhost to https://ec2.gluu.info/identity/ Also, why 'localhost' is coming? Did you use 'localhost' anywhere during installation?

I'm doing tunneling with putty, that's why the localhost, otherwise I won't be able to even try to see the Gluu login page. After opening up the 443 port, still the same problem.

There shouldn't be any problem; it's a very easy installation. We are going to share a video with you. Just FYI... before installing Gluu Server there in CentOS6.x AWS, we will make sure that port 443 is open to internet.

Awesome, thank you. Unfortunately the eth0 device does not have a public inet addr, it has a 10.0.0.0 type of address. Maybe that is why the ssh tunneling is not working? The ./setup.py has this private IP.

Good to know, thanks. On the httpd log I'm getting this error: [error] [client 10.0.0.249] File does not exist: /var/www/html/index.html Should this file exist?

That file might exist or not.. but Gluu Server operations are not dependent on this file. So we can ignore this error message.

Great. I'm not able to make it work in amazon; I've tried all according to the installation guide: - private ip in setup.py - etc/hosts pointing to public IP given by amazon But it simply won't show up, saying it took too long to respond. I tried tunneling, no tunneling, iptables 443 accept entry, and the logs don't show anything wrong. wget and curl work fetching the index.html, but the oxauth login page never shows up. What else can I do?

I think it's better for you to talk your organization system admin who has better knowledge on your environment. As we don't have idea about your organization network infrastructure, so we can't help you much here.

Thank you for this support, it was really helpful. It turns out that I had to include an inbound rule in the security group that the amazon instance associates with and tell the network guys here to upgrade my active directory user group to be able to access this unrated site (Fortinet). Thanks again.
