TestRail Login Redirects to HTTP

[knazal]

Hi,

I’ve installed TestRail on an Ubuntu 16.04 server, and I also have an AWS Elastic Load Balancer setup. What I wanted was to have my AWS ELB serve my TestRail installation via HTTPS.

On the login page, I am able to access it via HTTPS, but then whenever I attempt to login, I notice that the request is on HTTP, is there a setting that I am missing that should be configured so that it would redirect on HTTPS?

By the way, I’ve used a rewrite rule in apache2 setup to achieve TestRail being on HTTPS. Here’s a sample.

<VirtualHost :80>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !http
RewriteRule ^(.)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/testrail
ServerName mysite.com

I agree… why does it do this?

I haven’t been able to get the rewrite to work, so I’m stuck serving the login (of all screens) over http.

Hi everyone,

Please see my other response here:

TestRail behind a Apache proxy server

Hi Brian, Thanks for your posting. TestRail doesn’t really know that it’s being accessed via HTTPS in this case because SSL is terminated/handled by the ELB and not by the web server TestRail is running on. TestRail usually detects its base URL automatically (which is used for redirects etc.) but it is possible to override this via TestRail’s config.php: define(‘DEPLOY_REQUEST_SERVER’, ‘https://’); define(‘DEPLOY_REQUEST_PATH’, ‘testrail’); You would also need to change the installation URL …

Cheers,
Tobias
