Install Master/Slave Ezeelogin with MySQL SSL

How to install master Ezeelogin with secure MySQL

Refer article to take a trial license and install dependencies according to the OS you are running.

1. Install Ezeelogin by running the installation script. Refer below example.

root@jumpserver:~# sh ezlogin_7.x.x.bin

2. Follow the prompt for installation. Type I AGREE and continue the installation.

Type "I AGREE" and press enter to accept the license:

You may be prompted to enter the missing settings. The default value will be given in bold. Simply pressing enter key will choose the default value.

Enter the path where web panel files should be installed.

This path should be accessible via a web browser.

The directory should not exist, but its parent directory should exist.

path to install web panel files ( /var/www/html/ezlogin ):

You need to specify the document root here if it differs from the default or press enter to choose default.

Enter the path where web panel system files should be installed.

This should be preferably outside the DocumentRoot (should not be accessible via web browser) for security reasons.

If safe_mode restriction is enabled, this path should be allowed for include with safe_mode_include_dir

The directory should not exist, but its parent directory should exist.

path to install web panel system files ( /var/www/ezlogin ):

If you need to access the Ezeelogin jump server web panel as www.yourdomain.com choose " / " & change your document root to {your existing document root}/ezlogin. For example ,If your document root is /var/www/html change to /var/www/html/ezlogin , else press enter to choose default

For example, if the DocumentRoot of http://www.yourdomain.com/ is /usr/local/apache/htdocs/yourdomain and you specified /usr/local/apache/htdocs/yourdomain/ezlogin as path to install web panel, the web panel would be accessible as http://www.yourdomain.com/ezlogin/. In this case the REQUEST-URI would be ’/ezlogin/’.

If you specified DocumentRoot itself as the path to install web panel files, it would be ’/’

URI path to access the web panel ( /ezlogin/ ):
