Kaltura over SSL

We're planning to integrate Kaltura with Sakai OAE and so we need to serve all our content over SSL to avoid mixed content warnings. I'm in the process of moving kaltura (community edition 4) over to an SSL virtual host, but on searching round I'm concerned I'll hit some gotchas like the embedded flash players defaulting to using http:// and not following redirects. Does anyone else have any experience with running CE4 over SSL and can confirm whether it should work or not?

Best wishes,

Daniel

Hi,

To seemingly confirm my fears:

It looks like something (flash client?) is asking for http:// when going to the admin interface. Hitting a redirect 301 (which is the bounce from http to https) and bailing out. Is there any fix for this - I'm assuming I don't have the flash source to recompile even if I wanted to?)? It seems to be the same problem I saw someone ask about in community edition v3?

Best wishes,

Daniel

The source should be available. This is on our fix list, so I'll post up what needs to be changed when we've done it.

One year later maybe more experiences were made with this topic?

We are thinking about using SSL for Kaltura. This way we would like to know if it is possible to use SSL with Kaltura and additionally if it would be possible to secure the RTMP stream too? ("RTMPS".

Any ideas?

Kaltura Website is talking about RTMPE which should be supported so far:

Secure Delivery

We make sure your content is viewed only by authorized viewers and cannot be recorded and used by non-official/illegal distribution channels. Protect video by streaming over RTMPE and HTTPS encrypted protocols. Kaltura also protects your content via authentication tokens and Tokenized URLs.

Any experiences with this?

exxplain - That refers to Kaltura.com service, where Kaltura also wraps Akamai as the default CDN (or as customized service for other CDNs).

To setup CE 5 over SSL, try following PandaOS's guide: http://www.panda-os.com/blog/2012/11/setting-up-kaltura-ce-5-with-https
