The cockpit-ws program is the web server component used for communication between the browser application and various configuration tools and services like cockpitd(8).
Users or administrators should never need to start this program as it automatically started by systemd(1) on bootup.
Access to the com.redhat.Cockpit
D-Bus service
via the /socket
URI requires authentication
- this is implemented by asking for the root password. Static
files from /usr/share/cockpit/static
are
served without requiring any authentication.
To specify the TLS certificate the web server should use, simply
drop a file with the extension .cert
in the
/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d
directory. If there are
multiple files in this directory, then the highest priority one
is chosen after sorting. If there is no TLS certificate, a
self-signed certificate is automatically generated using the
/etc/pki/tls/certs/make-dummy-cert command
and stored in
/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/~self-signed.cert
.
