How to install SSL certificate in Odoo 11

Odoo by default transmits the information unencrypted, including the authentication.

That is why we consider that a secure Odoo deployment must have HTTPS, which requires SSL certificates that we will tell you how to configure and install below.

To carry out this procedure, it is required to:

SSL certificates (.pem and .key files) corresponding to the same domain through which your Odoo will be accessed.
SSH credentials of the "root" user to your Cloud Odoo, which you received by email at the time of hiring.

If you don't have an SSL certificate yet, you can create one now at:

SW Panel > Domains and SSL (left menu) > SSL Certificate Portfolio > Create SSL

For more information, see the following manual

SSL certificate installation in Odoo 11

Connect to your Cloud Odoo via SSH as "root" user.
Copy the .pem file of your SSL certificate in the directory:

/etc/ssl/

Copy the .key file of your SSL certificate in the directory:

/etc/ssl/private/

In this example, we have the following:

/etc/ssl/swhosting.com.pem

/etc/ssl/private/swhosting.com.key

Launch these commands to make a backup copy of the configuration files that we are going to modify:

cp -p /etc/odoo/odoo.conf /etc/odoo/odoo.conf.backup

cp -p /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/odoo.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo.conf.backup

Edit the following file:

/etc/odoo11.conf

Add the following line:

proxy_mode = True

Outcome:

[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
; admin_passwd = admin
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = odoo
db_password = False
;addons_path = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons
proxy_mode = True

Edit the following file:

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/odoo.domainname.com.conf

Replace all its content with the following:

#odoo server
upstream odoo {
 server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}
upstream odoochat {
 server 127.0.0.1:8072;
}

# http -> https
server {
   listen 80;
   server_name odoo.domainname.com;
   rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
}

Modify the following parameters of the previous file:

server_name odoo.domainname.com;

It appears in duplicate. In both, replace “odoo.mycompany.com” with your domain. Example: "swhosting.com".

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/odoo.domainname.com.pem;

Replace the path with the one corresponding to the .pem file of your SSL certificate.

ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/odoo.domainname.com.key;

Replace the path with the one corresponding to the key file of your SSL certificate.
As an example, the resulting configuration would be the following:

#odoo server
upstream odoo {
 server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}
upstream odoochat {
 server 127.0.0.1:8072;
}

# http -> https
server {
   listen 80;
   server_name swhosting.com;
   rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
}

server {
 listen 443;
 server_name swhosting.com;

}

For the changes to take effect, restart the services involved:

systemctl restart nginx.service
systemctl restart odoo.service

Verify that you can access via HTTPS:

https://odoo.domainname.com

💡 Remember that the DNS zone of your domain must point to your Cloud Odoo. If you have not done it already, you must configure the same IP as your Cloud Odoo in the Registry.

If something went wrong, you need to restore the backup copies of the configuration files:

cp -p /etc/odoo/odoo.conf.backup /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

cp -p /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo.conf.backup /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo.conf

If everything went well, you can optionally delete the backup copies of the configuration files:

rm /etc/odoo/odoo.conf.backup

rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo.conf.backup
