Updating FOP2 to work with HTTPS correctly

[JaredBusch]

The most common add on I get for any FreePBX based system is the FOP2 (Flash Operator Panel 2). It costs $40 for the basic bundle, $60 if you want to white label it. If you want every single possible feature plus white label, it is $100. I never buy more than the $40 basic, because that is all my clients have ever needed.

If you have only a few extensions, you can use it for free. The limit is 15 buttons.

It is a simple scripted install and it comes up working perfectly on a default FreePBX 13 install.

But if you use SSL, there are two lines in the config that you need to change.

Edit the /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg file and fins these two entries.

ssl_certificate_file=/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
ssl_certificate_key_file=/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

You need to change them to your SSL cert and key. If oyu use the built in SSL module with Let's Encrypt, you will find the files in /etc/https/pki, so update the config to look like this.

ssl_certificate_file=/etc/httpd/pki/webserver.crt
ssl_certificate_key_file=/etc/httpd/pki/webserver.key

Then restart fop2

service fop2 restart

and now you can log in correctly.

For anyone not familiar, here is a screenshot of my free version.

here is a paid version at a client with ~40 extensions.
(intentionally not all are shown such as the Snom PA-1 paging adapter, because I know someone will count....)
