Some specific installation is needed: - run the ajaxterm proxy from /etc/rc, e.g., ajaxterm -d -u _ajaxterm - modify your http config to redirect to it, only from ssl modes. That is: - activate the proxy module LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/libproxy.so - choose a secure url and redirect it to ajaxterm. In the SSL VirtualHost section add something like: ProxyPass /ajaxterm/ http://localhost:8022/ ProxyPassReverse /ajaxterm http://localhost:8022/
