=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 |
