OpenSSL for Win32 using Apache
Apache 2.0.59 & OpenSSL 0.9.8b (installed on Aug, 19 2006)
Old Appache HTTP Archive at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/
This page will describe the required software and tools to get Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, up and running under
Windows 2000 using the Apache server. Before we proceed to the following page make sure you have downloaded the
required software. The only assumption made is that the Apache 2.0.59 is already installed and running with out SSL support.
Some of this document is a repeat of easily obtain documents found on the web with additional information found
through experience. Regardless, this document exist mainly for myself (and you) because there is no guarantee
the existing website documents will be around in the near future. In addition, setting up a server, for me, is
a one time process. I set it up, forget it and move on to development and that is exactly what
will happen - I will forget it. This page will be a valuable tool for reinstalling the server...with SSL support.
In summary, you will learn how to:
Create Certificates & Keys using OpenSSL
Modify Apache Server to work with mod_ssl
Modify both configuration files, httpd.conf & ssl.conf, to accept SSL support.
|
NOTE: Apache.org does NOT provide a binary distibution of the server with SSL support due to legal restrictions.
In some parts of the world the use of software containing strong cryptography is illegal. What this means is that we are missing a
specific module, mod_ssl.so, when we download the binary version.
