dspace 7 SSL Problem

[Vivek Kumar]

I have installed DSpace 7.6 on Debian 12. On the local server all things are working fine over HTTP with my local IP address.  Now this address is bind with a sub-domain in the DNS server where the auto redirect rule is set to forward all HTTP requests to HTTPS. And SSL server is also setup at domain server only. The DNS server is not handled by our library and SSL server refused to forward HTTP requests directly.

So, we can access the DSpace url via HTTPS only. But as local setup is HTTP only, DSpace denies many requests like PDF file not opened, login not working. Can anybody suggest a possible solution which can work in my scenario. I shall be thankful to you.

Thanking you,

Vinod Kumar

Hi,

I'd recommend using our Troubleshooting Guide to find the exact error that occurs when something is "not working".  The errors are very important as they will provide hints as to where the configuration problem may be. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

My suspicion is that you will find one of these "Common Installation Issues", in which case the answer you seek is documented here: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-CommonInstallationIssues

If you do not find one of those common installation issues, then feel free to share the error details here and I'm sure someone can provide more advice.
