secure connection with novnc for VM's

[Roeffus]

I am trying to make a secure connection to my ubuntuVM which i have made in the Freenas (11.3-U3.2) Webgui.
if i run:

curl -i https://theipofmyfreenasserver:portofbhyvevncinterface

i get the following result

Code:

curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to theipofmyfreenasserver:portofbhyvevncinterface

apparently novnc is not configured for a secure connection, but you can have a password on the interface....

Does anyone have the knowledge on how to add this?

Found the following:

noVNC on https ? · Issue #134 · novnc/noVNC

I think the title is explicit! It's because I would like the vnc password to be protected!

github.com

If you have a self.pem at the top-level of you noVNC repo/installation then launch.sh will automatically add the --cert option to the websockify invocation.

The private key which freenas creates can be changed to a pem file (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/991758/how-to-get-pem-file-from-key-and-crt-files)
Just change the filename to self.pem, put it on the server and move it to /usr/local/libexec/novnc/ should work. I will reboot later this day to see if it worked.

On the stackoverflow page someone stated that the .pem file should contain the key and crt. So i did this:
cat server.crt server.key > self.pem
I have rebooted, but when i force a https connection, i get:

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

So i am a bit stuck now. Any tips?

Excuse me, has your problem been solved?
