ssl support

[walkeraj]

how do I enable ssl support? There are some aspects of it I would like to test.

I figured it out. Here is how to enable ssl support in Uniform Server. There is a zip on this page ( http://smithii.com/?q=node/view/30 ) that you can merge with your uniform server. Just make sure you:

 

- do NOT overwrite your httpd.conf with the new one

- enable mod_ssl in your httpd.conf

- alter ssl.conf to read DocumentRoot "/www"

 

If you want to create new keys, use these instructions: http://slacksite.com/apache/certificate.html

 

You might need to mess around with it a bit, it seems to look for c:\www\apache2...blah blah... openssl.cnf, and I can't figure out how to make it look in the right place.

 

If you just want to use some generic keys I made, I've attached them here. Note: if you're going to use your own key, you MUST generate one without a pass key and use that for server.key. apache.exe does not support passkey'd key files under win32.

 

Have fun!

The Uniform Server uses Stunnel SSL. There is a plugin for that on our SourceForge.Net Download System.

 

If you are free, you can post your own experiment into the wiki.

Oh, I didn't know about that plugin. It's only listed on sourceforge. Hmm. So, basically, I'm using the native Apache version, and this plugin is a wrapper? Is there any advantage to using my approach over yours?

Yeah, i think. Not too sure. Yours is openssl, pure, but ours is developed with openssl as an inside tech... not too big on ssl technology..
