# gets SSLPassPhrase by file instead of promt for |
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
|
|
Every start of apache require to enter the password for the above generated SSL key. |
100 |
|
|
This can be annoying if you plan some automatic restart of apache. |
101 |
|
|
There is a way to automatically give the password to apache with the option: |
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
|
|
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/your_password_programm |
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
|
|
But it's upt to you to write the password programm, be careful!! |
106 |
|
|
Some times, it is easier to simply protect a non protected file, than writing a programm that gives a password!! |
107 |
|
|
Easiest way would be e.g. |
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
#-----------your_password_programm --------- |
110 |
|
|
#!/bin/sh |
111 |
|
|
echo <your passphrase> |
112 |
|
|
#------------------ end snip ---------------------- |
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
|
|
chmod 700 /path/to/your_password_programm |
115 |
|
|
chown www-data.www-data /path/to/your_password_programm |
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
|
118 |
|
|
But again, this would be very unsecure!!! |

# Relative HTTP/HTTPS switching |

Switch from HTTP to HTTPS and vice versa by using only relative URLs |
149 |
|
|
Benefit: Absolute URLs are avioded and this way the website is more flexible |
