How to solve particular security constraints for an SSL-aware webserver
is not always obvious because of the coherences between SSL, HTTP and Apache's
way of processing requests. This chapter gives instructions on how to solve
such typical situations. Treat is as a first step to find out the final
solution, but always try to understand the stuff before you use it. Nothing is
worse than using a security solution without knowing its restrictions and
coherences.

<p>
This facility is called Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) and details you can
find in the <code>README.GlobalID</code> document in the mod_ssl distribution.
In short: The server has a Global ID server certificate, signed by a special
CA certificate from Verisign which enables strong encryption in export
browsers. This works as following: The browser connects with an export cipher,
the server sends its Global ID certificate, the browser verifies it and
subsequently upgrades the cipher suite before any HTTP communication takes
place. The question now is: How can we allow this upgrade, but enforce strong
encryption. Or in other words: Browser either have to initially connect with
strong encryption or have to upgrade to strong encryption, but are not allowed
to keep the export ciphers. The following does the trick:

<p>
Obviously you cannot just use a server-wide <code>SSLCipherSuite</code> which
restricts the ciphers to the strong variants. But mod_ssl allows you to
reconfigure the cipher suite in per-directory context and automatically forces
a renegotiation of the SSL parameters to meet the new configuration. So, the
solution is:

When you know your user community (i.e. a closed user group situation), as
it's the case for instance in an Intranet, you can use plain certificate
authentication. All you have to do is to create client certificates signed by
your own CA certificate <code>ca.crt</code> and then verifiy the clients
against this certificate.

The key is to check for various ingredients of the client certficate. Usually
this means to check the whole or part of the Distinguished Name (DN) of the
Subject. For this two methods exists: The <code>mod_auth</code> based variant
and the <code>SSLRequire</code> variant. The first method is good when the
clients are of totally different type, i.e. when their DNs have no common
fields (usually the organisation, etc.). In this case you've to establish a
password database containing <em>all</em> clients. The second method is better
when your clients are all part of a common hierarchy which is encoded into the
DN. Then you can match them more easily.
<p>
The first method:

I require HTTPS with strong ciphers and either basic authentication or client

Let us assume the Intranet can be distinguished through the IP network

<tt>/subarea</tt>. Then configure the following outside your HTTPS virtual
host (so it applies to both HTTPS and HTTP):
