Description Jukka Lehti 2002-03-26 09:26:22 UTC 
When installing Red Hat Linux 7.2 and selecting "Medium level" firewall +
customizing firewall to allow http connections (port 80), https connections
(port 443) are still blocked. IMHO https should be allowed for users who allow
http (or at least an option provided to allow https, too).

I fixed this manually adding line

-A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 443 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT

to the end of file /etc/sysconfig/ipchains but probably this should be done
automatmc.

We will consider this enhancement in a future release.

There is currently a field to enter arbitrary ports in so it is still possible
to enable this port through the UI.
Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2003-04-16 18:59:03 UTC 
This is a configuration decision for the lokkit program.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-03-11 05:59:32 UTC 
Fixed in system-config-securitylevel-1.3.5-1.
