After doing a fresh install on RHEL 8.6, Dex doesn’t seem to be starting with SSL support. I see these errors: [Thu May 25 14:44:09.041069 2023] [auth_openidc:error] [pid 168028:tid 140736280393472] [client 172.27.96.248:31820] oidc_util_http_call: curl_easy_perform() failed on: https://apps.talon.…

Turns out that yum reinstall doesn’t remove and recreate the directories. I had to uninstall, delete the directories, and then install. Everything seems to be working now.

Are you using self signed certificates? You have to be sure that the certificates you generated for dex come from the same certificate authority that apache has. I’m not 100% sure what that means exactly, but self signed certificates always give dex problems. I’ll look for similar topics to link h…

Jeff, We are not using any self-signed certificates in the ood_portal config.

Googling this search string shows a few results. They seem to be related to the CA certificate and apache’s permission to find them.

Check in /var/log/ondemand-nginx/$USER/error.log for the error message(s). There may also be a tmp html file in /tmp that you can download and view, though the error log may say the same thing.

That is very odd indeed. You are running 2.0? on what operating system? Did you install it from the packages (rpm or deb)?

I see you’re on RHEL/8. You’re installing 2.0.x on RHEL 8.6?

I’m running 3.0 on RHEL 8.6. It was installed from the yum repository.

Jeff,

After adding the SSLCertificateChainFile to the ood_portal.yml file, I’m now getting a login page. But after logging in, I get the attached error.
