With the default certificate, users who log in to the service will see a security alert similar to the
following:
We recommend that you change the default certificate to your own certificate before you allow wide
use of the service.
To change the SSL certificate
1. Make sure that you have a .pem file with your certificate. You can buy a certificate from a
certificate authority (CA) or create a certificate by using a tool such as openssl.
2. Copy the .pem file to the machine with Agent for vCloud. You can place the file in the
/opt/keystore folder.
3. On the machine with Agent for vCloud, edit the /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/vcda_https.conf
configuration file and specify the file name of your certificate. For example, the configuration file
may look like:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
ssl.pemfile = "/opt/keystore/my_certificate.pem"
ssl.engine = "enable"
}
Depending on the certificate, you may need to specify other parameters in the configuration file.
For details about specifying SSL certificates, refer to the following Lighttpd Wiki article:
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/Docs_SSL.
4. Restart the web server by running the following command:
service lighttpd restart
1.10.2 Changing the logo and customizing the interface
The look of the web interface is based on the Cascading Style Sheets (.css) files. By changing the
custom.css file, you can customize the interface. For example, you can change the logo and colors.
The following procedure describes how you can replace the Acronis logo with your company's logo.
You can similarly customize other elements of the interface.
To change the logo
1. Prepare a .png, .jpg, or .gif file with the new logo.
You can use two separate logo files: one for the login page and one for the main interface.
2. Copy the logo file (or files) to the machine with Agent for vCloud.
3. On the machine with Agent for vCloud, edit the /opt/acronis/vcd-agent/client/index.html file as
follows:
a. Find the following line in the file:
