adding https access to SVN on the redmine appliance
I downloaded the redmine appliance and really liked it, but I had some issues trying to figure out how to change the svn access so that I could access it over https.
I finally figured it out and made a blog post about it. I thought I would post it here in case anyone wanted to do the same thing.
I don't have it completely integrated with redmine yet. I know there have been a bunch of posts about that lately.

Enjoy.
Comments are welcome. Be gentle though. Keep in mind I'm an electrical engineer, not an IT professional or computer engineer.

Ah ok.
Reply 1Awesome!
Reply 2TBH I have never used SVN from a development standpoint but IMO any server access (especially write access) should have an encrypted pathway, at least as an option (if not the default!). So I've added it to our issue tracker.
TBH after I originally thought about it, I'm not sure if it should be set up by default, or whether it should just be an easy option?! Are there any implications for other VC connection methods if SVN supports HTTPS OOTB? It doesn't seem to effect Redmine itself directly and the SVN path is specifically for SVN so setting it as default (although not forcing it) might be a good option?
Love to hear the thoughts of someone who knows much more than me about this! :)
[OT] I had a quick look at "Security Now". I assume you are referring to "Security Now #567 - Hacking Certificates"? If so, whilst it's concerning that it happened; it's the result of a lack of attention to detail by a CA. Not getting their automated software audited by security minded developers is a MAJOR oversight! Hopefully there weren't too many dodgey certs issued?!
[Really OT] As an aside, Liraz posted on our blog. The article regarding the inbuilt security holes in current hardware might also be of interest to you?
