Error: Could not setup Ezeelogin Web SSH service

1. Make sure that "SELINUX" is disabled.

Check the status by the following command getenforce/sestatus

If it is enabled, then change the config file in the /etc/selinux/config to SELINUX=disabled

Reboot your server and confirm by checking the status as disabled.

2. Make sure that you have installed SSL cert for web ssh.

To ensure ssl for the browser tab that opens up the web ssh console, generate a self-signed cert:

[email protected]:~# openssl req -new -days 365 -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -out /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/tls_cert.pem -keyout /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/tls_key.pem

You can put a valid ca, cert and key in the files: /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/tls_ca.pem, /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/tls_cert.pem & /usr/local/etc/ezlogin/tls_key.pem respectively. You can rename your current .crt / .key file to .pem file

Check if web server have access to the key generated above

3 . Make sure nodejs is installed on the jump server. Refer to this article to set up a web ssh console in ezeelogin and ssh via a standard browser.

4. After nodejs installation, Ensure that you have also installed node modules for web ssh by running the following command

[email protected]:~ DEBUG=* CLIENT_DEBUG=* PORT=52222 node /var/www/ezlogin/application/external/webssh/index.js

[email protected]:~ cd /var/www/ezlogin/application/external/webssh/ && npm install
