his chapter provides a reference to all configuration directives and
|
|
additional user visible features mod_ssl provides. It's intended as the
|
|
official resource when you want to know how a particilar mod_ssl functionality
|
|
is actually configured or activated. Each directive is documented similar to
|
|
the way standard Apache directives are documented in the official Apache
|
|
documentation set, i.e. for each directive especially the syntax, default and
|
|
context where applicable is given.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Notice that there are three major classes of directives which are used by
|
|
mod_ssl: First <em>Global Directives</em> (i.e. directives with context
|
|
``server config''), which can occur inside the server config files but only
|
|
outside of any sectioning commands like <VirtualHost>. Second
|
|
<em>Per-Server Directives</em> (i.e. those with context ``server config,
|
|
virtual host''), which can occur inside the server config files both outside
|
|
(for the main/default server) and inside <VirtualHost> sections.

And third <em>Per-Directory Directives</em> (i.e. those with context ``server
|
|
config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess''), which can pretty much occur
|
|
everywhere. Especially both inside the server config files and the
|
|
per-directory <code>.htaccess</code> files. The three classes are subsets of
|
|
each other, i.e. directives from the per-directory class can also be used in
|
|
the per-server and global context, and directives from the per-server class
|
|
can also be used the in the global context.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additional directives and environment variables provided by mod_ssl (via
|
|
on-the-fly mapping) for backward compatiblity to other Apache SSL solutions
|
|
are documented in the <a href="ssl_compat.html">Compatibility</a> chapter.
|
|
<h1><a name="ToC1">Configuration Directives</a></h1>
|
|
The most visible and error-prone things of mod_ssl are its configuration
|
|
directives. So we document them in great detail here to assist you in setting
|
|
up the best possible configuration of your SSL-aware webserver.

When Apache starts up it has to read the various Certificate (see <a
|
|
href="#SSLCertificateFile">SSLCertificateFile</a>) and Private Key (see <a
|
|
href="#SSLCertificateKeyFile">SSLCertificateKeyFile</a>) 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>:
|
|
<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>
|
|
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><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 two arguments (the first is
|
|
of the form ``<code>servername:portnumber</code>'', the second is either
|
|
``<code>RSA</code>'' or ``<code>DSA</code>''), which indicate for which
|
|
server and algorithm 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>
|
|
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>
|
|
The reuse-algorithm above is used here, too. In other words: The external
|
|
program is called only once per unique Pass Phrase.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/usr/local/apache/sbin/pp-filter
|
|
</pre>
|
|

This configures the SSL engine's semaphore (aka. lock) which is used for mutual
|
|
exclusion of operations which have to be done in a synchronized way between the
|
|
pre-forked Apache server processes. This directive can only be used in the
|
|
global server context because it's only useful to have one global mutex.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following Mutex <em>types</em> are available:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>none</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the default where no Mutex is used at all. Use it at your own
|
|
risk. But because currently the Mutex is mainly used for synchronizing
|
|
write access to the SSL Session Cache you can live without it as long
|
|
as you accept a sometimes garbled Session Cache. So it's not recommended
|
|
to leave this the default. Instead configure a real Mutex.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>file:/path/to/mutex</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the portable and (under Unix) always provided Mutex variant where
|
|
a physical (lock-)file is used as the Mutex. Always use a local disk
|
|
filesystem for <code>/path/to/mutex</code> and never a file residing on a
|
|
NFS- or AFS-filesystem. Note: Internally, the Process ID (PID) of the
|
|
Apache parent process is automatically appended to
|
|
<code>/path/to/mutex</code> to make it unique, so you don't have to worry
|
|
about conflicts yourself. Notice that this type of mutex is not available
|
|
under the Win32 environment. There you <i>have</i> to use the semaphore
|
|
mutex.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>sem</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the most elegant but also most non-portable Mutex variant where a
|
|
SysV IPC Semaphore (under Unix) and a Windows Mutex (under Win32) is used
|
|
when possible. It is only available when the underlying platform
|
|
supports it.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLMutex file:/usr/local/apache/logs/ssl_mutex

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>
|
|
The following <em>source</em> variants are available:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>builtin</code>
|
|
<p> This is the always available builtin seeding source. It's 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
|
|
choosen 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><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
|
|
derivates like FreeBSD and Linux).
|
|
<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>
|
|
On some platforms like FreeBSD one can even control how the entropy is
|
|
actually generated, i.e. by which system interrupts. More details one can
|
|
find under <i>rndcontrol(8)</i> on those platforms. Alternatively, when
|
|
your system lacks such a random device, you can use tool
|
|
like <a href="http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/">EGD</a>
|
|
(Entropy Gathering Daemon) and run it's client program with the
|
|
<code>exec:/path/to/program/</code> variant (see below) or use
|
|
<code>egd:/path/to/egd-socket</code> (see below).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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><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.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
|
|
SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/random
|
|
SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 1024
|
|
SSLRandomSeed startup exec:/usr/local/bin/truerand 16

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 unneccessary session handshakes.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following two storage <em>type</em>s are currently supported:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>none</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the default and just disables the global/inter-process Session
|
|
Cache. There is no drawback in functionality, but a noticeable speed
|
|
penalty can be observed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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. The slight increase
|
|
in I/O on the server results in a visible request speedup for your
|
|
clients, so this type of storage is generally recommended.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>shm:/path/to/datafile</code>[<code>(</code><i>size</i><code>)</code>]
|
|
<p>
|
|
This makes use of a high-performance hash table (approx. <i>size</i> 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 storage type is not available on all
|
|
platforms. See the mod_ssl <code>INSTALL</code> document for details on
|
|
how to build Apache+EAPI with shared memory support.

This directive can be used to control the SSL protocol flavors mod_ssl should
|
|
use when establishing its server environment. Clients then can only connect
|
|
with one of the provided protocols.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The available (case-insensitive) <em>protocol</em>s are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>SSLv2</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, version 2.0. It is the
|
|
original SSL protocol as designed by Netscape Corporation.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>SSLv3</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, version 3.0. It is the
|
|
successor to SSLv2 and the currently (as of February 1999) de-facto
|
|
standardized SSL protocol from Netscape Corporation. It's supported by
|
|
almost all popular browsers.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>TLSv1</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, version 1.0. It is the
|
|
successor to SSLv3 and currently (as of February 1999) still under
|
|
construction by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It's still
|
|
not supported by any popular browsers.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>All</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a shortcut for ``<code>+SSLv2 +SSLv3 +TLSv1</code>'' and a
|
|
convinient way for enabling all protocols except one when used in
|
|
combination with the minus sign on a protocol as the example above shows.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
# enable SSLv3 and TLSv1, but not SSLv2
|
|
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
|
|
</pre>

This complex directive uses a colon-separated <em>cipher-spec</em> string
|
|
consisting of OpenSSL cipher specifications to configure the Cipher Suite the
|
|
client is permitted to negotiate in the SSL handshake phase. Notice that this
|
|
directive can be used both in per-server and per-directory context. In
|
|
per-server context it applies to the standard SSL handshake when a connection
|
|
is established. In per-directory context it forces a SSL renegotation with the
|
|
reconfigured Cipher Suite after the HTTP request was read but before the HTTP
|
|
response is sent.
|
|
<p>
|
|
An SSL cipher specification in <em>cipher-spec</em> is composed of 4 major
|
|
attributes plus a few extra minor ones:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>Key Exchange Algorithm</em>:<br>
|
|
RSA or Diffie-Hellman variants.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><em>Authentication Algorithm</em>:<br>
|
|
RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSS or none.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><em>Cipher/Encryption Algorithm</em>:<br>
|
|
DES, Triple-DES, RC4, RC2, IDEA or none.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><em>MAC Digest Algorithm</em>:<br>
|
|
MD5, SHA or SHA1.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
An SSL cipher can also be an export cipher and is either a SSLv2 or SSLv3/TLSv1
|
|
cipher (here TLSv1 is equivalent to SSLv3). To specify which ciphers to use,
|
|
one can either specify all the Ciphers, one at a time, or use aliases to
|
|
specify the preference and order for the ciphers (see <a href="#table1">Table
|
|
1</a>).

Now where this becomes interesting is that these can be put together
|
|
to specify the order and ciphers you wish to use. To speed this up
|
|
there are also aliases (<code>SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, EXP, LOW, MEDIUM,
|
|
HIGH</code>) for certain groups of ciphers. These tags can be joined
|
|
together with prefixes to form the <em>cipher-spec</em>. Available
|
|
prefixes are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>none: add cipher to list
|
|
<li><code>+</code>: add ciphers to list and pull them to current location in list
|
|
<li><code>-</code>: remove cipher from list (can be added later again)
|
|
<li><code>!</code>: kill cipher from list completely (can <b>not</b> be added later again)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
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
|
|
is ``<code>ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP</code>'' which
|
|
means the following: first, remove from consideration any ciphers that do not
|
|
authenticate, i.e. for SSL only the Anonymous Diffie-Hellman ciphers. Next,
|
|
use ciphers using RC4 and RSA. Next include the high, medium and then the low
|
|
security ciphers. Finally <em>pull</em> all SSLv2 and export ciphers to the
|
|
end of the list.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
$ openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP'
|

|

|

This directive points to the PEM-encoded Certificate file for the server and
|
|
optionally also to the corresponding RSA or DSA Private Key file for it
|
|
(contained in the same file). If the contained Private Key is encrypted the
|
|
Pass Phrase dialog is forced at startup time. This directive can be used up to
|
|
two times (referencing different filenames) when both a RSA and a DSA based
|
|
server certificate is used in parallel.

This directive points to the PEM-encoded Private Key file for the server. If
|
|
the Private Key is not combined with the Certificate in the
|
|
<code>SSLCertificateFile</code>, use this additional directive to point to the
|
|
file with the stand-alone Private Key. When <code>SSLCertificateFile</code>
|
|
is used and the file contains both the Certificate and the Private Key this
|
|
directive need not be used. But we strongly discourage this practice.
|
|
Instead we recommend you to separate the Certificate and the Private Key. If
|
|
the contained Private Key is encrypted, the Pass Phrase dialog is forced at
|
|
startup time. This directive can be used up to two times (referencing
|
|
different filenames) when both a RSA and a DSA based private key is used in
|
|
parallel.

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 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>
|
|
This should be used alternatively and/or additionally to <a
|
|
href="#SSLCACertificatePath">SSLCACertificatePath</a> 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 <a
|
|
href="#SSLCACertificatePath">SSLCACertificatePath</a> 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. That's usually not one expect.
|
|
<p>
|
|
But be careful: Providing the certificate chain works only if you are using a
|
|
<i>single</i> (either RSA <i>or</i> DSA) based server certificate. If you are
|
|
using a coupled RSA+DSA certificate pair, this will work only if actually both
|
|
certificates use the <i>same</i> certificate chain. Else the browsers will be
|
|
confused in this situation.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt
|
|
</pre>
|

This directive sets the directory where you keep the Certificates of
|
|
Certification Authorities (CAs) whose clients you deal with. These are used to
|
|
verify the client certificate on Client Authentication.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The files in this directory have to be PEM-encoded and are accessed through
|
|
hash filenames. So usually you can't just place the Certificate files
|
|
there: you also have to create symbolic links named
|
|
<i>hash-value</i><tt>.N</tt>. And you should always make sure this directory
|
|
contains the appropriate symbolic links. Use the <code>Makefile</code> which
|
|
comes with mod_ssl to accomplish this task.

This directive sets the directory where you keep the Certificate Revocation
|
|
Lists (CRL) of Certification Authorities (CAs) whose clients you deal with.
|
|
These are used to revoke the client certificate on Client Authentication.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The files in this directory have to be PEM-encoded and are accessed through
|
|
hash filenames. So usually you have not only to place the CRL files there.
|
|
Additionally you have to create symbolic links named
|
|
<i>hash-value</i><tt>.rN</tt>. And you should always make sure this directory
|
|
contains the appropriate symbolic links. Use the <code>Makefile</code> which
|
|
comes with mod_ssl to accomplish this task.

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 renegotation with the
|
|
reconfigured client verification level after the HTTP request was read but
|
|
before the HTTP response is sent.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following levels are available for <em>level</em>:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>none</strong>:
|
|
no client Certificate is required at all
|
|
<li><strong>optional</strong>:
|
|
the client <em>may</em> present a valid Certificate
|
|
<li><strong>require</strong>:
|
|
the client <em>has to</em> present a valid Certificate
|
|
<li><strong>optional_no_ca</strong>:
|
|
the client may present a valid Certificate<br>
|
|
but it need not to be (successfully) verifiable.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
In practice only levels <strong>none</strong> and <strong>require</strong> are
|
|
really interesting, because level <strong>optional</strong> doesn't work with
|
|
all browsers and level <strong>optional_no_ca</strong> is actually against the
|
|
idea of authentication (but can be used to establish SSL test pages, etc.)
|
|
<p>

<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLVerifyClient require

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 renegotation with the reconfigured client verification depth after the
|
|
HTTP request was read but before the HTTP response is sent.
|
|
<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>SSLCACertificatePath</code>), etc.
|
|

<blockquote>

This directive sets the name of the dedicated SSL protocol engine logfile.
|
|
Error type messages are additionally duplicated to the general Apache error
|
|
log file (directive <code>ErrorLog</code>). Put this somewhere where it cannot
|
|
be used for symlink attacks on a real server (i.e. somewhere where only root
|
|
can write). If the <em>filename</em> does not begin with a slash
|
|
('<code>/</code>') then it is assumed to be relative to the <em>Server
|
|
Root</em>. If <em>filename</em> begins with a bar ('<code>|</code>') then the
|
|
following string is assumed to be a path to an executable program to which a
|
|
reliable pipe can be established. The directive should occur only once per
|
|
virtual server config.

This directive sets the verbosity degree of the dedicated SSL protocol engine
|
|
logfile. The <em>level</em> is one of the following (in ascending order where
|
|
higher levels include lower levels):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>none</code><br>
|
|
no dedicated SSL logging is done, but messages of level
|
|
``<code>error</code>'' are still written to the general Apache error
|
|
logfile.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>error</code><br>
|
|
log messages of error type only, i.e. messages which show fatal situations
|
|
(processing is stopped). Those messages are also duplicated to the
|
|
general Apache error logfile.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>warn</code><br>
|
|
log also warning messages, i.e. messages which show non-fatal problems
|
|
(processing is continued).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>info</code><br>
|
|
log also informational messages, i.e. messages which show major
|
|
processing steps.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>trace</code><br>
|
|
log also trace messages, i.e. messages which show minor processing steps.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>debug</code><br>
|
|
log also debugging messages, i.e. messages which show development and

|
low-level I/O information.

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>
|
|
The available <em>option</em>s are:
|
|
<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><code>CompatEnvVars</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When this option is enabled, additional CGI/SSI environment variables are
|
|
created for backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions. Look in
|
|
the <a href="ssl_compat.html">Compatibility</a> chapter for details
|
|
on the particular variables generated.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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><i>n</i> (with <i>n</i> = 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><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>). 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...$Owx8s2/m9/gfkcRVXzgoE/</code>''.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>StrictRequire</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This <i>forces</i> forbidden access when <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
|
|
<code>SSLRequire</code> successfully decided that access should be
|
|
forbidden. Usually the default is that in the case where a ``<code>Satisfy
|
|
any</code>'' directive is used, and other access restrictions are passed,
|
|
denial of access due to <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
|
|
<code>SSLRequire</code> is overridden (because that's how the Apache
|
|
<tt>Satisfy</tt> mechanism should work.) But for strict access restriction
|
|
you can use <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> and/or <code>SSLRequire</code> in
|
|
combination with an ``<code>SSLOptions +StrictRequire</code>''. Then an
|
|
additional ``<code>Satisfy Any</code>'' has no chance once mod_ssl has
|
|
decided to deny access.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li><code>OptRenegotiate</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
|
|
directives are used in per-directory context. By default a strict
|
|
scheme is enabled where <i>every</i> per-directory reconfiguration of
|
|
SSL parameters causes a <i>full</i> SSL renegotiation handshake. When this
|
|
option is used mod_ssl tries to avoid unnecessary handshakes by doing more
|
|
granular (but still safe) parameter checks. Nevertheless these granular
|
|
checks sometimes maybe not what the user expects, so enable this on a
|
|
per-directory basis only, please.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth -StrictRequire
|
|
<Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml)$">
|
|
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +CompatEnvVars -ExportCertData
|
|
<Files>
|
|
</pre>
|

This directive forbids access unless HTTP over SSL (i.e. HTTPS) is enabled for
|
|
the current connection. This is very handy inside the SSL-enabled virtual
|
|
host or directories for defending against configuration errors that expose
|
|
stuff that should be protected. When this directive is present all requests
|
|
are denied which are not using SSL.
|
|

SSLRequireSSL

This directive specifies a general access requirement which has to be
|
|
fulfilled in order to allow access. It's a very powerful directive because the
|
|
requirement specification is an arbitrarily complex boolean expression
|
|
containing any number of access checks.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em>expression</em> must match the following syntax (given as a BNF
|
|
grammar notation):
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
expr ::= "<b>true</b>" | "<b>false</b>"
|
|
| "<b>!</b>" expr
|
|
| expr "<b>&&</b>" expr
|
|
| expr "<b>||</b>" expr
|
|
| "<b>(</b>" expr "<b>)</b>"
|
|
| comp
|
|
|
|
comp ::= word "<b>==</b>" word | word "<b>eq</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b>!=</b>" word | word "<b>ne</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b><</b>" word | word "<b>lt</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b><=</b>" word | word "<b>le</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b>></b>" word | word "<b>gt</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b>>=</b>" word | word "<b>ge</b>" word
|
|
| word "<b>in</b>" "<b>{</b>" wordlist "<b>}</b>"
|
|
| word "<b>=~</b>" regex
|
|
| word "<b>!~</b>" regex
|
|
|
|
wordlist ::= word
|
|
| wordlist "<b>,</b>" word
|
|
|
|
word ::= digit
|
|
| cstring
|
|
| variable
|
|
| function
|
|
|
|
digit ::= [0-9]+
|
|
cstring ::= "..."
|
|
variable ::= "<b>%{</b>" varname "<b>}</b>"
|
|
function ::= funcname "<b>(</b>" funcargs "<b>)</b>"
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
while for <code>varname</code> any variable from <a href="#table3">Table 3</a>
|
|
can be used. Finally for <code>funcname</code> the following functions
|
|
are available:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>file(</code><em>filename</em><code>)</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This function takes one string argument and expands to the contents of the
|
|
file. This is especially useful for matching this contents against a
|
|
regular expression, etc.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Notice that <em>expression</em> is first parsed into an internal machine
|
|
representation and then evaluated in a second step. Actually, in Global and
|
|
Per-Server Class context <em>expression</em> is parsed at startup time and
|
|
at runtime only the machine representation is executed. For Per-Directory
|
|
context this is different: here <em>expression</em> has to be parsed and
|
|
immediately executed for every request.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SSLRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)-/ \
|
|
and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O} eq "Snake Oil, Ltd." \
|
|
and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_OU} in {"Staff", "CA", "Dev"} \
|
|
and %{TIME_WDAY} >= 1 and %{TIME_WDAY} <= 5 \
|
|
and %{TIME_HOUR} >= 8 and %{TIME_HOUR} <= 20 ) \
|
|
or %{REMOTE_ADDR} =~ m/^192\.76\.162\.[0-9]+$/
|
|
</pre>

<h2><a name="ToC26">Custom Log Formats</a></h2>
|
|
When mod_ssl is built into Apache or at least loaded (under DSO situation)
|
|
additional functions exist for the <a
|
|
href="../mod_log_config.html#formats">Custom Log Format</a> of <a
|
|
href="../mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a>. First there is an additional
|
|
``<code>%{</code><em>varname</em><code>}x</code>'' eXtension format function
|
|
which can be used to expand any variables provided by any module, especially
|
|
those provided by mod_ssl which can you find in <a href="#table4">Table 4</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
For backward compatibility there is additionally a special
|
|
``<code>%{</code><em>name</em><code>}c</code>'' cryptography format function
|
|
provided. Information about this function is provided in the <a
|
|
href="ssl_compat.html">Compatibility</a> chapter.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
