Envisalink 2DS/3/4 Alarm Server (Proxy & HTTP/JSON)

This is still beta software.

The ssl certificates that are provided are intended for demo purposes only.
Please use openssl to generate your own. A quick HOWTO is below.

As with any project documentation is key, there is plenty more to go in here and it will hopefully be soon!

Config: Please see the alarmserver-example.cfg and rename to alarmserver.cfg and customize to requirements.

OpenSSL Certificate Howto

To generate a self signed cert issue the following in a command prompt: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt

Openssl will ask you some questions. The only semi-important one is the 'common name' field. You want this set to your servers fqdn. IE alarmserver.example.com.

If you have a real ssl cert from a certificate authority and it has intermediate certs then you'll need to bundle them all up or the webbrowser will complain about it not being a valid cert. To bundle the certs use cat to include your cert, then the intermediates (ie cat mycert.crt > combined.crt; cat intermediates.crt >> combined.crt)

Dependencies:

On windows, pyOpenSSL is required. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL
