Enable SSL for JupyterHub

To secure communication on JupyterHub with SSL, follow these steps:

  • Generate an SSL Certificate and Key: Run the following command to create an SSL certificate and private key.
openssl req \
-newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout domain.key \
-x509 -days 365 -out jupyterhub.crt
  • domain.key: The private key file.
  • jupyterhub.crt: The SSL certificate file.
  • Update the JupyterHub Configuration: Add the SSL certificate and key file paths to the JupyterHub configuration file.
c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = '/usr/odp/3.2.3.2-3/jupyter/jupyterhub.crt'
c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = '/usr/odp/3.2.3.2-3/jupyter/domain.key'
If using Ambari to manage JupyterHub, add these properties in the JupyterHub configuration section of the Ambari UI, as shown in the screenshot.
  • Save and Restart JupyterHub: After updating the configuration:
  • Save the changes.
  • Restart the JupyterHub service to apply the new SSL settings.
