Default Apache SSL Configuration File

# This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support.

# It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to

# serve pages over an https connection. For detailing information about these

# directives see <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html>

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

# consult the online docs. You have been warned.

# Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG):

# Configure one or more sources to seed the PRNG of the SSL library.

# The seed data should be of good random quality.

# WARNING! On some platforms /dev/random blocks if not enough entropy

# is available. This means you then cannot use the /dev/random device

# because it would lead to very long connection times (as long as

# it requires to make more entropy available). But usually those

# platforms additionally provide a /dev/urandom device which doesn't

# block. So, if available, use this one instead. Read the mod_ssl User

# Manual for more details.

#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/random 512

#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 512

#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/random 512

#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 512

# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the

# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port

# Note: Configurations that use IPv6 but not IPv4-mapped addresses need two

# Listen directives: "Listen [::]:443" and "Listen 0.0.0.0:443"

Listen 443

## SSL Global Context

## All SSL configuration in this context applies both to

## the main server and all SSL-enabled virtual hosts.

# Some MIME-types for downloading Certificates and CRLs

AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt

AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl

# Pass Phrase Dialog:

# Configure the pass phrase gathering process.

# The filtering dialog program (`builtin' is a internal

# terminal dialog) has to provide the pass phrase on stdout.

SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin

# Inter-Process Session Cache:

# Configure the SSL Session Cache: First the mechanism

# to use and second the expiring timeout (in seconds).

#SSLSessionCache "dbm:/opt/apache/logs/ssl_scache"

SSLSessionCache "shmcb:/opt/apache/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"

SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300

# Semaphore:

# Configure the path to the mutual exclusion semaphore the

# SSL engine uses internally for inter-process synchronization.

# SSL Engine Options:

# Set various options for the SSL engine.

# o FakeBasicAuth:

# Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation. This means that

# the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. The

# user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.

# Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user

# file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.

# o ExportCertData:

# This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and

# SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the

# server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client

# authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates

# into CGI scripts.

# o StdEnvVars:

# This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.

# Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,

# because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually

# useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the

# exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.

# o StrictRequire:

# This denies access when "SSLRequireSSL" or "SSLRequire" applied even

# under a "Satisfy any" situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied

# and no other module can change it.

# o OptRenegotiate:

# This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL

# SSL Protocol Adjustments:

# The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown

# approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for

# the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown

# approach you can use one of the following variables:

# o ssl-unclean-shutdown:

# This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no

# SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates

# the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use

# this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where

# mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.

# o ssl-accurate-shutdown:

# This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a

# SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify

# alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in

# practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use

# this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation

# works correctly.

# Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP

# keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable

# keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.

# Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround

# their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and

# "force-response-1.0" for this.
