Jenkins-1.5 on HTTPS/SSL instead of HTTP

Question

I just "yum install jenkins" and ran to war file.

Now the jenkins server is accessible via "x.x.x.x:8080";

How do I route all the traffic via SSL/TLS with self-generate certs?

I've looked at previous articles regarding Jenkins on https but didn't find any of them applicable.

Please help, thanks.

Your httpd.conf would look like this to reverse proxy the Jenkins.

VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080 / nocanon
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy http://localhost:8080/*>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
    </Proxy>
</VirtualHost>


#<Proxy http://localhost:8080/jenkins*>
#       Order allow,deny
#       Allow from all
#</Proxy>
#ProxyPass /jenkins http://localhost:8080/jenkins nocanon
#ProxyPassReverse /jenkins http://localhost:8080/jenkins
#ProxyPassReverse /jenkins http://seedonkjenkins/jenkins

#ProxyPass                      /jenkins        http://localhost:8080/jenkins
#ProxyPassReverse               /jenkins        http://localhost:8080/jenkins
#ProxyRequests                  Off

SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass / https://localhost:8081
ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:8081
