Can't access Coturn web interface

Question

I have a running coturn instance on Centos-7-x64, if I access it through the browser I can see:

TURN Server
use https connection for the admin session

After examining the documentation, I found this:

Add the admin user(s) to the database, with turnadmin utility. If you added those users, then they will be able to connect to the TURN server ports over HTTPS from your browser and perform admin tasks with the web interface.

So I created an admin user with the following command:

$ sudo bin/turnadmin -A -u username -p password

And I can see that user listed when running:

turnadmin -L

However, when I try to connect to https://my.ip.adrss:3478 I can't see the promised admin.

What am I missing here?

You need to configure TLS. For this, you can start the server with the following flags (taken from documentation)

--cert Certificate file, PEM format. Same file search rules applied as for the configuration file. If both --no-tls and --no-dtls options are specified, then this parameter is not needed. Default value is turn_server_cert.pem.

--pkey Private key file, PEM format. Same file search rules applied as for the configuration file. If both --no-tls and --no-dtls options are specified, then this parameter is not needed. Default value is turn_server_pkey.pem.

You'll need to specify the path to each file. You can find the file with find / -name turn_server_*.pem -type f, if you want to use the ones that the package comes with. Otherwise, you can point to your own files. I think they are located in /etc/turn_server_cert.pem and /etc/turn_server_pkey.pem
