    Desired Goal/Outcome
    Use SSL for Aleph OPAC and X-Services; disable ports other than 443.


    Procedure
    In order to use SSL for Aleph OPAC and X-Services and disable other ports, the following configurations need to be made: 
    1- Follow instructions from the Article " Forcing X-Services transactions to occur using SSL? " for configuring Apache to SSL. In addition , in the 
    $httpd_root/conf/httpd_conf file , comment out the line "Listen ". 

    2- In the file $alephe_root/ aleph_start change the following three environment variables to "443" 

    *************** 
    setenv HTTPD_PORT 443 
    setenv PDS_PORT 443 
    setenv PDS_PORT_IN 443 
    *************** 

    3- change the following line in the hidden file : $httpd_root/htdocs/.index.html to "https" and "443" 

    *************** 
    var loc = "https:/*********443******* 
    *************** 

    4- In the file $alephe_root/ www_server.conf change these following parameters to : 

    ********************** 
    setenv server_httpd "https://${WWW_HOST}:443" 
    setenv server_httpsd "https://${WWW_HOST}:443" 
    setenv server_css "https://${WWW_HOST}:$HTTPD_PORT" 
    setenv server_css_ssl "https://${WWW_HOST}:443" 
    ********************** 

    If PDS is being used on the Aleph server , change the PDS definition parameters to "https" and "443" 

    5- If this is an Ex Libris Hosted site, update Exlibris 24x7 hub that the Aleph port that was being used is not accessible anymore and that the new port is "443"
