=head4 gets SSLPassPhrase by file instead of prompt for |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
Every start of apache require to enter the password for the above generated SSL key. |
| 106 |
This can be annoying if you plan some automatic restart of apache. |
| 107 |
There is a way to automatically give the password to apache with the option: |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/your_password_programm |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
But it's upt to you to write the password programm, be careful!! |
| 112 |
Some times, it is easier to simply protect a non protected file, than writing a programm that gives a password!! |
| 113 |
Easiest way would be e.g. |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
#-----------your_password_programm --------- |
| 116 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 117 |
echo <your passphrase> |
| 118 |
#------------------ end snip ---------------------- |
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
chmod 700 /path/to/your_password_programm |
| 121 |
chown www-data.www-data /path/to/your_password_programm |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
But again, this would be very unsecure!!! |
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
=head4 modify apache init script to start with ssl |
| 130 |
|
| 131 |
('apachectl startssl' won't works at debian/testing for some reason....) |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
- edit /etc/init.d/apache: |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
replace start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
with start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- DSSL |
| 139 |
|
| 140 |
in the WHOLE script! |
| 141 |
|
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
=head4 finally start apache.. |
| 145 |
|
| 146 |
- run |
| 147 |
/etc/init.d/apache start |
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
and you are in business... ;) |
| 150 |
|
| 151 |
|
| 152 |
=head4 Relative HTTP/HTTPS switching |
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
Switch from HTTP to HTTPS and vice versa by using only relative URLs |
| 155 |
Benefit: Absolute URLs are avioded and this way the website is more flexible |
| 156 |
|
| 157 |
#-------- sample httpd.conf snip ------------------------- |
| 158 |
RewriteEngine on |
| 159 |
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on |
| 160 |
RewriteRule ^/(.*):scheme=toggle$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] |
| 161 |
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on |
| 162 |
RewriteRule ^/(.*):scheme=toggle$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] |
| 163 |
RewriteRule ^/(.*):scheme=(http|https)$ $2://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] |
