<h3>Summary</h3>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>This module provides SSL v3 and TLS v1.x support for the Apache
 | 
						||
HTTP Server. SSL v2 is no longer supported.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>This module relies on <a href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>
 | 
						||
to provide the cryptography engine.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>Further details, discussion, and examples are provided in the

particular attribute.  For example, where the server certificate
 | 
						||
subject DN included two OU attributes, <code>SSL_SERVER_S_DN_OU_0</code>
 | 
						||
and
 | 
						||
<code>SSL_SERVER_S_DN_OU_1</code> could be used to reference each.  A
 | 
						||
variable name without a <code>_n</code> suffix is equivalent to that
 | 
						||
name with a <code>_0</code> suffix; the first (or only) attribute.
 | 
						||
When the environment table is populated using
 | 
						||
the <code>StdEnvVars</code> option of
 | 
						||
the <code class="directive"><a href="#ssloptions">SSLOptions</a></code> directive, the
 | 
						||
first (or only) attribute of any DN is added only under a non-suffixed
 | 
						||
name; i.e. no <code>_0</code> suffixed entries are added.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>The format of the <em>*_DN</em> variables has changed in Apache HTTPD
 | 
						||
2.3.11. See the <code>LegacyDNStringFormat</code> option for
 |

<code class="directive"><a href="#ssloptions">SSLOptions</a></code> for details.</p>

<p><code>SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN</code> is only available in version 2.1

This directive sets the optional <em>all-in-one</em> file where you can

assemble the certificates of Certification Authorities (CA) which form the
 | 
						||
certificate chain of the server certificate. This starts with the issuing CA
 | 
						||
certificate of the server certificate and can range up to the root CA
 | 
						||
certificate. Such a file is simply the concatenation of the various
 | 
						||
PEM-encoded CA Certificate files, usually in certificate chain order.</p>
 |

<p>
 | 
						||
This should be used alternatively and/or additionally to <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code> for explicitly

constructing the server certificate chain which is sent to the browser

in addition to the server certificate. It is especially useful to

avoid conflicts with CA certificates when using client

authentication. Because although placing a CA certificate of the
 | 
						||
server certificate chain into <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code> has the same effect
 |

for the certificate chain construction, it has the side-effect that

client certificates issued by this same CA certificate are also
 |

accepted on client authentication.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
But be careful: Providing the certificate chain works only if you are using a

<em>single</em> RSA <em>or</em> DSA based server certificate. If you are

using a coupled RSA+DSA certificate pair, this will work only if actually both

confused in this situation.</p>

This directive points to a file with certificate data in PEM format.
 | 
						||
At a minimum, the file must include an end-entity (leaf) certificate.
 | 
						||
The directive can be used multiple times (referencing different filenames)
 | 
						||
to support multiple algorithms for server authentication - typically
 | 
						||
RSA, DSA, and ECC. The number of supported algorithms depends on the
 | 
						||
OpenSSL version being used for mod_ssl: with version 1.0.0 or later,
 | 
						||
<code>openssl list-public-key-algorithms</code> will output a list
 | 
						||
of supported algorithms, see also the note below about limitations
 | 
						||
of OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.2 and the ways to work around them.
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
The files may also include intermediate CA certificates, sorted from
 | 
						||
leaf to root. This is supported with version 2.4.8 and later,
 | 
						||
and obsoletes <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatechainfile">SSLCertificateChainFile</a></code>.
 | 
						||
When running with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, this allows
 | 
						||
to configure the intermediate CA chain on a per-certificate basis.
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
Custom DH parameters and an EC curve name for ephemeral keys,
 | 
						||
can also be added to end of the first file configured using
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatefile">SSLCertificateFile</a></code>.
 | 
						||
This is supported in version 2.4.7 or later.
 | 
						||
Such parameters can be generated using the commands
 | 
						||
<code>openssl dhparam</code> and <code>openssl ecparam</code>.
 | 
						||
The parameters can be added as-is to the end of the first
 | 
						||
certificate file. Only the first file can be used for custom
 | 
						||
parameters, as they are applied independently of the authentication
 | 
						||
algorithm type.
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
Finally the end-entity certificate's private key can also be
 | 
						||
added to the certificate file instead of using a separate
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatekeyfile">SSLCertificateKeyFile</a></code>
 | 
						||
directive. This practice is highly discouraged. If it is used,
 | 
						||
the certificate files using such an embedded key must be configured
 | 
						||
after the certificates using a separate key file. If the private
 | 
						||
key is encrypted, the pass phrase dialog is forced at startup time.

<h3>DH parameter interoperability with primes > 1024 bit</h3>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
Beginning with version 2.4.7, mod_ssl makes use of
 | 
						||
standardized DH parameters with prime lengths of 2048, 3072 and 4096 bits
 | 
						||
and with additional prime lengths of 6144 and 8192 bits beginning with
 | 
						||
version 2.4.10
 | 
						||
(from <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3526.txt">RFC 3526</a>), and hands
 | 
						||
them out to clients based on the length of the certificate's RSA/DSA key.
 | 
						||
With Java-based clients in particular (Java 7 or earlier), this may lead
 | 
						||
to handshake failures - see this
 | 
						||
<a href="../ssl/ssl_faq.html#javadh">FAQ answer</a> for working around
 |

such issues.

<h3>Default DH parameters when using multiple certificates and OpenSSL
 | 
						||
versions prior to 1.0.2</h3>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
When using multiple certificates to support different authentication algorithms
 | 
						||
(like RSA, DSA, but mainly ECC) and OpenSSL prior to 1.0.2, it is recommended
 | 
						||
to either use custom DH parameters (preferably) by adding them to the
 | 
						||
first certificate file (as described above), or to order the
 | 
						||
<code class="directive">SSLCertificateFile</code> directives such that RSA/DSA
 | 
						||
certificates are placed <strong>after</strong> the ECC one.
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
This is due to a limitation in older versions of OpenSSL which don't let the
 | 
						||
Apache HTTP Server determine the currently selected certificate at handshake
 | 
						||
time (when the DH parameters must be sent to the peer) but instead always
 | 
						||
provide the last configured certificate. Consequently, the server may select
 | 
						||
default DH parameters based on the length of the wrong certificate's key (ECC
 | 
						||
keys are much smaller than RSA/DSA ones and their length is not relevant for
 | 
						||
selecting DH primes).
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
Since custom DH parameters always take precedence over the default ones, this
 | 
						||
issue can be avoided by creating and configuring them (as described above),
 | 
						||
thus using a custom/suitable length.

there are also aliases (<code>SSLv3, TLSv1, EXP, LOW, MEDIUM,

<p>A simpler way to look at all of this is to use the ``<code>openssl ciphers
 | 
						||
-v</code>'' command which provides a nice way to successively create the
 | 
						||
correct <em>cipher-spec</em> string. The default <em>cipher-spec</em> string
 | 
						||
depends on the version of the OpenSSL libraries used. Let's suppose it is
 | 
						||
``<code>RC4-SHA:AES128-SHA:HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!MD5</code>'' which
 | 
						||
means the following: Put <code>RC4-SHA</code> and <code>AES128-SHA</code> at
 | 
						||
the beginning. We do this, because these ciphers offer a good compromise
 | 
						||
between speed and security. Next, include high and medium security ciphers.
 | 
						||
Finally, remove all ciphers which do not authenticate, i.e. for SSL the
 | 
						||
Anonymous Diffie-Hellman ciphers, as well as all ciphers which use
 | 
						||
<code>MD5</code> as hash algorithm, because it has been proven insufficient.</p>

It must be set in the global server context and cannot be configured

with conflicting settings (SSLFIPS on followed by SSLFIPS off or

similar).  The mode applies to all SSL library operations.

This directive can be used to control various run-time options on a
 | 
						||
per-directory basis. Normally, if multiple <code>SSLOptions</code>
 | 
						||
could apply to a directory, then the most specific one is taken
 | 
						||
completely; the options are not merged. However if <em>all</em> the
 | 
						||
options on the <code>SSLOptions</code> directive are preceded by a
 | 
						||
plus (<code>+</code>) or minus (<code>-</code>) symbol, the options
 | 
						||
are merged. Any options preceded by a <code>+</code> are added to the
 | 
						||
options currently in force, and any options preceded by a
 | 
						||
<code>-</code> are removed from the options currently in force.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
The available <em>option</em>s are:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li><code>StdEnvVars</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    When this option is enabled, the standard set of SSL related CGI/SSI
 | 
						||
    environment variables are created. This per default is disabled for
 | 
						||
    performance reasons, because the information extraction step is a
 | 
						||
    rather expensive operation. So one usually enables this option for
 | 
						||
    CGI and SSI requests only.</p>
 | 
						||
</li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>ExportCertData</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    When this option is enabled, additional CGI/SSI environment variables are
 | 
						||
    created: <code>SSL_SERVER_CERT</code>, <code>SSL_CLIENT_CERT</code> and
 | 
						||
    <code>SSL_CLIENT_CERT_CHAIN_</code><em>n</em> (with <em>n</em> = 0,1,2,..).
 | 
						||
    These contain the PEM-encoded X.509 Certificates of server and client for
 | 
						||
    the current HTTPS connection and can be used by CGI scripts for deeper
 | 
						||
    Certificate checking. Additionally all other certificates of the client
 | 
						||
    certificate chain are provided, too. This bloats up the environment a
 | 
						||
    little bit which is why you have to use this option to enable it on
 | 
						||
    demand.</p>
 | 
						||
</li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>FakeBasicAuth</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    When this option is enabled, the Subject Distinguished Name (DN) of the
 | 
						||
    Client X509 Certificate is translated into a HTTP Basic Authorization
 | 
						||
    username. This means that the standard Apache authentication methods can
 | 
						||
    be used for access control. The user name is just the Subject of the
 | 
						||
    Client's X509 Certificate (can be determined by running OpenSSL's
 | 
						||
    <code>openssl x509</code> command: <code>openssl x509 -noout -subject -in
 | 
						||
    </code><em>certificate</em><code>.crt</code>). The optional <code class="directive"><a href="#sslusername">SSLUserName</a></code> directive can be used to
 | 
						||
    specify which part of the certificate Subject is embedded in the username.
 | 
						||
    Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
 | 
						||
    file needs this password: ``<code>xxj31ZMTZzkVA</code>'', which is the
 | 
						||
    DES-encrypted version of the word `<code>password</code>''. Those who
 | 
						||
    live under MD5-based encryption (for instance under FreeBSD or BSD/OS,
 | 
						||
    etc.) should use the following MD5 hash of the same word:
 | 
						||
     ``<code>$1$OXLyS...$Owx8s2/m9/gfkcRVXzgoE/</code>''.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>Note that the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicfake">AuthBasicFake</a></code>
 | 
						||
    directive within <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> can be used as a more
 | 
						||
    general mechanism for faking basic authentication, giving control over the
 | 
						||
    structure of both the username and password.</p>
 | 
						||
</li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>StrictRequire</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This <em>forces</em> forbidden access when <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
 | 
						||
    <code>SSLRequire</code> successfully decided that access should be
 | 
						||
    forbidden. Usually the default is that in the case where a ``<code>Satisfy
 | 
						||
    any</code>'' directive is used, and other access restrictions are passed,
 | 
						||
    denial of access due to <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
 | 
						||
    <code>SSLRequire</code> is overridden (because that's how the Apache
 | 
						||
    <code>Satisfy</code> mechanism should work.) But for strict access restriction
 | 
						||
    you can use <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> and/or <code>SSLRequire</code> in
 | 
						||
    combination with an ``<code>SSLOptions +StrictRequire</code>''. Then an
 | 
						||
    additional ``<code>Satisfy Any</code>'' has no chance once mod_ssl has
 | 
						||
    decided to deny access.</p>
 | 
						||
</li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>OptRenegotiate</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
 | 
						||
    directives are used in per-directory context. By default a strict
 | 
						||
    scheme is enabled where <em>every</em> per-directory reconfiguration of
 | 
						||
    SSL parameters causes a <em>full</em> SSL renegotiation handshake. When this
 | 
						||
    option is used mod_ssl tries to avoid unnecessary handshakes by doing more
 | 
						||
    granular (but still safe) parameter checks. Nevertheless these granular
 | 
						||
    checks sometimes may not be what the user expects, so enable this on a
 | 
						||
    per-directory basis only, please.</p>
 | 
						||
</li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>LegacyDNStringFormat</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This option influences how values of the
 | 
						||
    <code>SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN</code> variables are formatted. Since
 | 
						||
    version 2.3.11, Apache HTTPD uses a RFC 2253 compatible format by
 | 
						||
    default. This uses commas as delimiters between the attributes, allows the
 | 
						||
    use of non-ASCII characters (which are converted to UTF8), escapes
 | 
						||
    various special characters with backslashes, and sorts the attributes
 | 
						||
    with the "C" attribute last.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>If <code>LegacyDNStringFormat</code> is set, the old format will be
 | 
						||
    used which sorts the "C" attribute first, uses slashes as separators, and
 | 
						||
    does not handle non-ASCII and special characters in any consistent way.

<p>

When Apache starts up it has to read the various Certificate (see
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatefile">SSLCertificateFile</a></code>) and
 | 
						||
Private Key (see <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatekeyfile">SSLCertificateKeyFile</a></code>) files of the
 | 
						||
SSL-enabled virtual servers. Because for security reasons the Private
 | 
						||
Key files are usually encrypted, mod_ssl needs to query the
 | 
						||
administrator for a Pass Phrase in order to decrypt those files. This
 | 
						||
query can be done in two ways which can be configured by
 | 
						||
<em>type</em>:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li><code>builtin</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This is the default where an interactive terminal dialog occurs at startup
 | 
						||
    time just before Apache detaches from the terminal. Here the administrator
 | 
						||
    has to manually enter the Pass Phrase for each encrypted Private Key file.
 | 
						||
    Because a lot of SSL-enabled virtual hosts can be configured, the
 | 
						||
    following reuse-scheme is used to minimize the dialog: When a Private Key
 | 
						||
    file is encrypted, all known Pass Phrases (at the beginning there are
 | 
						||
    none, of course) are tried. If one of those known Pass Phrases succeeds no
 | 
						||
    dialog pops up for this particular Private Key file. If none succeeded,
 | 
						||
    another Pass Phrase is queried on the terminal and remembered for the next
 | 
						||
    round (where it perhaps can be reused).</p>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This scheme allows mod_ssl to be maximally flexible (because for N encrypted
 | 
						||
    Private Key files you <em>can</em> use N different Pass Phrases - but then
 | 
						||
    you have to enter all of them, of course) while minimizing the terminal
 | 
						||
    dialog (i.e. when you use a single Pass Phrase for all N Private Key files
 | 
						||
    this Pass Phrase is queried only once).</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>|/path/to/program [args...]</code>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
   <p>This mode allows an external program to be used which acts as a
 | 
						||
   pipe to a particular input device; the program is sent the standard
 | 
						||
   prompt text used for the <code>builtin</code> mode on
 | 
						||
   <code>stdin</code>, and is expected to write password strings on
 | 
						||
   <code>stdout</code>.  If several passwords are needed (or an
 | 
						||
   incorrect password is entered), additional prompt text will be
 | 
						||
   written subsequent to the first password being returned, and more
 | 
						||
   passwords must then be written back.</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>exec:/path/to/program</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    Here an external program is configured which is called at startup for each
 | 
						||
    encrypted Private Key file. It is called with one argument, a string of the
 | 
						||
    form ``<code>servername:portnumber:index</code>'' (with <code>index</code>
 | 
						||
    being a zero-based sequence number), which indicates for which server,
 | 
						||
    TCP port and certificate number it has to print the corresponding
 | 
						||
    Pass Phrase to <code>stdout</code>.  The intent is that this external
 | 
						||
    program first runs security checks to make sure that the system is not
 | 
						||
    compromised by an attacker, and only when these checks were passed
 | 
						||
    successfully it provides the Pass Phrase.</p>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    Both these security checks, and the way the Pass Phrase is determined, can
 | 
						||
    be as complex as you like. Mod_ssl just defines the interface: an
 | 
						||
    executable program which provides the Pass Phrase on <code>stdout</code>.
 | 
						||
    Nothing more or less! So, if you're really paranoid about security, here
 | 
						||
    is your interface. Anything else has to be left as an exercise to the
 | 
						||
    administrator, because local security requirements are so different.</p>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    The reuse-algorithm above is used here, too. In other words: The external
 | 
						||
    program is called only once per unique Pass Phrase.</p></li>

This directive sets how deeply mod_ssl should verify before deciding that the

The depth actually is the maximum number of intermediate certificate issuers,

i.e. the number of CA certificates which are max allowed to be followed while
 |

verifying the remote server certificate. A depth of 0 means that self-signed
 | 
						||
remote server certificates are accepted only, the default depth of 1 means
 | 
						||
the remote server certificate can be self-signed or has to be signed by a CA
 | 
						||
which is directly known to the server (i.e. the CA's certificate is under

This configures one or more sources for seeding the Pseudo Random Number
 | 
						||
Generator (PRNG) in OpenSSL at startup time (<em>context</em> is
 | 
						||
<code>startup</code>) and/or just before a new SSL connection is established
 | 
						||
(<em>context</em> is <code>connect</code>). This directive can only be used
 | 
						||
in the global server context because the PRNG is a global facility.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
The following <em>source</em> variants are available:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li><code>builtin</code>
 | 
						||
    <p> This is the always available builtin seeding source. Its usage
 | 
						||
    consumes minimum CPU cycles under runtime and hence can be always used
 | 
						||
    without drawbacks. The source used for seeding the PRNG contains of the
 | 
						||
    current time, the current process id and (when applicable) a randomly
 | 
						||
    chosen 1KB extract of the inter-process scoreboard structure of Apache.
 | 
						||
    The drawback is that this is not really a strong source and at startup
 | 
						||
    time (where the scoreboard is still not available) this source just
 | 
						||
    produces a few bytes of entropy. So you should always, at least for the
 | 
						||
    startup, use an additional seeding source.</p></li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>file:/path/to/source</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This variant uses an external file <code>/path/to/source</code> as the
 | 
						||
    source for seeding the PRNG. When <em>bytes</em> is specified, only the
 | 
						||
    first <em>bytes</em> number of bytes of the file form the entropy (and
 | 
						||
    <em>bytes</em> is given to <code>/path/to/source</code> as the first
 | 
						||
    argument). When <em>bytes</em> is not specified the whole file forms the
 | 
						||
    entropy (and <code>0</code> is given to <code>/path/to/source</code> as
 | 
						||
    the first argument). Use this especially at startup time, for instance
 | 
						||
    with an available <code>/dev/random</code> and/or
 | 
						||
    <code>/dev/urandom</code> devices (which usually exist on modern Unix
 | 
						||
    derivatives like FreeBSD and Linux).</p>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    <em>But be careful</em>: Usually <code>/dev/random</code> provides only as
 | 
						||
    much entropy data as it actually has, i.e. when you request 512 bytes of
 | 
						||
    entropy, but the device currently has only 100 bytes available two things
 | 
						||
    can happen: On some platforms you receive only the 100 bytes while on
 | 
						||
    other platforms the read blocks until enough bytes are available (which
 | 
						||
    can take a long time). Here using an existing <code>/dev/urandom</code> is
 | 
						||
    better, because it never blocks and actually gives the amount of requested
 | 
						||
    data. The drawback is just that the quality of the received data may not
 | 
						||
    be the best.</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>exec:/path/to/program</code>
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This variant uses an external executable
 | 
						||
    <code>/path/to/program</code> as the source for seeding the
 | 
						||
    PRNG. When <em>bytes</em> is specified, only the first
 | 
						||
    <em>bytes</em> number of bytes of its <code>stdout</code> contents
 | 
						||
    form the entropy. When <em>bytes</em> is not specified, the
 | 
						||
    entirety of the data produced on <code>stdout</code> form the
 | 
						||
    entropy. Use this only at startup time when you need a very strong
 | 
						||
    seeding with the help of an external program (for instance as in
 | 
						||
    the example above with the <code>truerand</code> utility you can
 | 
						||
    find in the mod_ssl distribution which is based on the AT&T
 | 
						||
    <em>truerand</em> library). Using this in the connection context
 | 
						||
    slows down the server too dramatically, of course.  So usually you
 | 
						||
    should avoid using external programs in that context.</p></li>
 | 
						||
<li><code>egd:/path/to/egd-socket</code> (Unix only)
 | 
						||
    <p>
 | 
						||
    This variant uses the Unix domain socket of the
 | 
						||
    external Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) (see <a href="http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/">http://www.lothar.com/tech
 | 
						||
    /crypto/</a>) to seed the PRNG. Use this if no random device exists
 | 
						||
    on your platform.</p></li>

This configures the storage type of the global/inter-process SSL Session
 | 
						||
Cache. This cache is an optional facility which speeds up parallel request
 | 
						||
processing. For requests to the same server process (via HTTP keep-alive),
 | 
						||
OpenSSL already caches the SSL session information locally. But because modern
 | 
						||
clients request inlined images and other data via parallel requests (usually
 | 
						||
up to four parallel requests are common) those requests are served by
 | 
						||
<em>different</em> pre-forked server processes. Here an inter-process cache
 | 
						||
helps to avoid unnecessary session handshakes.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
The following five storage <em>type</em>s are currently supported:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul>
 | 
						||
<li><code>none</code>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>This disables the global/inter-process Session Cache.  This
 | 
						||
    will incur a noticeable speed penalty and may cause problems if
 | 
						||
    using certain browsers, particularly if client certificates are
 | 
						||
    enabled.  This setting is not recommended.</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>nonenotnull</code>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>This disables any global/inter-process Session Cache.  However
 | 
						||
    it does force OpenSSL to send a non-null session ID to
 | 
						||
    accommodate buggy clients that require one.</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>dbm:/path/to/datafile</code>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>This makes use of a DBM hashfile on the local disk to
 | 
						||
    synchronize the local OpenSSL memory caches of the server
 | 
						||
    processes. This session cache may suffer reliability issues under
 | 
						||
    high load. To use this, ensure that
 | 
						||
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_socache_dbm.html">mod_socache_dbm</a></code> is loaded.</p></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<li><code>shmcb:/path/to/datafile</code>[<code>(</code><em>size</em><code>)</code>]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>This makes use of a high-performance cyclic buffer
 | 
						||
    (approx. <em>size</em> bytes in size) inside a shared memory
 | 
						||
    segment in RAM (established via <code>/path/to/datafile</code>) to
 | 
						||
    synchronize the local OpenSSL memory caches of the server
 | 
						||
    processes.  This is the recommended session cache. To use this,
 | 
						||
    ensure that <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_socache_shmcb.html">mod_socache_shmcb</a></code> is loaded.</p></li>

<li><code>dc:UNIX:/path/to/socket</code>

						||
 |

    <p>This makes use of the <a href="http://www.distcache.org/">distcache</a> distributed session
 | 
						||
    caching libraries.  The argument should specify the location of

    the server or proxy to be used using the distcache address syntax;
 | 
						||
    for example, <code>UNIX:/path/to/socket</code> specifies a UNIX
 | 
						||
    domain socket (typically a local dc_client proxy);
 | 
						||
    <code>IP:server.example.com:9001</code> specifies an IP

Primarily suitable for clustered environments where TLS sessions information

<p>This option enables OCSP stapling, as defined by the "Certificate
 | 
						||
Status Request" TLS extension specified in RFC 6066. If enabled (and
 | 
						||
requested by the client), mod_ssl will include an OCSP response
 | 
						||
for its own certificate in the TLS handshake. Configuring an
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="#sslstaplingcache">SSLStaplingCache</a></code> is a
 | 
						||
prerequisite for enabling OCSP stapling.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>OCSP stapling relieves the client of querying the OCSP responder
 | 
						||
on its own, but it should be noted that with the RFC 6066 specification,
 | 
						||
the server's <code>CertificateStatus</code> reply may only include an
 | 
						||
OCSP response for a single cert. For server certificates with intermediate
 | 
						||
CA certificates in their chain (the typical case nowadays),
 | 
						||
stapling in its current implementation therefore only partially achieves the
 | 
						||
stated goal of "saving roundtrips and resources" - see also
 | 
						||
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6961.txt">RFC 6961</a>
 | 
						||
(TLS Multiple Certificate Status Extension).
 | 
						||
</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
<p>When OCSP stapling is enabled, the <code>ssl-stapling</code> mutex is used
 | 
						||
to control access to the OCSP stapling cache in order to prevent corruption,
 | 
						||
and the <code>sss-stapling-refresh</code> mutex is used to control refreshes
 | 
						||
of OCSP responses.  These mutexes can be configured using the
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#mutex">Mutex</a></code> directive.

This directive sets the Certificate verification level for the Client

Authentication. Notice that this directive can be used both in per-server and

						||
per-directory context. In per-server context it applies to the client
 | 
						||
authentication process used in the standard SSL handshake when a connection is
 | 
						||
established. In per-directory context it forces a SSL renegotiation with the
 | 
						||
reconfigured client verification level after the HTTP request was read but
 | 
						||
before the HTTP response is sent.</p>
 |

<p>
 |

The following levels are available for <em>level</em>:</p>
 |

<ul>
 |

<li><strong>none</strong>:

     no client Certificate is required at all</li>
 | 
						||
<li><strong>optional</strong>:
 |

     the client <em>may</em> present a valid Certificate</li>
 | 
						||
<li><strong>require</strong>:
 | 
						||
     the client <em>has to</em> present a valid Certificate</li>
 | 
						||
<li><strong>optional_no_ca</strong>:
 |

     the client may present a valid Certificate<br />

     but it need not to be (successfully) verifiable.</li>

This directive sets how deeply mod_ssl should verify before deciding that the
 | 
						||
clients don't have a valid certificate. Notice that this directive can be
 | 
						||
used both in per-server and per-directory context. In per-server context it
 | 
						||
applies to the client authentication process used in the standard SSL
 | 
						||
handshake when a connection is established. In per-directory context it forces
 | 
						||
a SSL renegotiation with the reconfigured client verification depth after the
 | 
						||
HTTP request was read but before the HTTP response is sent.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>
 | 
						||
The depth actually is the maximum number of intermediate certificate issuers,
 | 
						||
i.e. the number of CA certificates which are max allowed to be followed while
 | 
						||
verifying the client certificate. A depth of 0 means that self-signed client
 | 
						||
certificates are accepted only, the default depth of 1 means the client
 | 
						||
certificate can be self-signed or has to be signed by a CA which is directly
 | 
						||
known to the server (i.e. the CA's certificate is under
 | 
						||
<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code>), etc.</p>
