Notice that this +directive can be used both in per-server and per-directory context. In +per-server context it applies to the standard SSL handshake when a connection +is established. In per-directory context it forces a SSL renegotation with the +reconfigured Cipher Suite after the HTTP request was read but before the HTTP +response is sent.</p> +<p> +An SSL cipher specification in <em>cipher-spec</em> is composed of 4 major +attributes plus a few extra minor ones:</p> +<ul> +<li><em>Key Exchange Algorithm</em>:<br /> + RSA or Diffie-Hellman variants. +</li> +<li><em>Authentication Algorithm</em>:<br /> + RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSS or none. +</li> +<li><em>Cipher/Encryption Algorithm</em>:<br /> + DES, Triple-DES, RC4, RC2, IDEA or none. +</li> +<li><em>MAC Digest Algorithm</em>:<br /> + MD5, SHA or SHA1. +</li> +</ul> +<p>An SSL cipher can also be an export cipher and is either a SSLv2 or SSLv3/TLSv1 +cipher (here TLSv1 is equivalent to SSLv3).

If one of those known Pass Phrases succeeds no + dialog pops up for this particular Private Key file. If none succeeded, + another Pass Phrase is queried on the terminal and remembered for the next + round (where it perhaps can be reused).</p> + <p> + This scheme allows mod_ssl to be maximally flexible (because for N encrypted + Private Key files you <em>can</em> use N different Pass Phrases - but then + you have to enter all of them, of course) while minimizing the terminal + dialog (i.e. when you use a single Pass Phrase for all N Private Key files + this Pass Phrase is queried only once).</p></li> + +<li><code>exec:/path/to/program</code> + <p> + Here an external program is configured which is called at startup for each + encrypted Private Key file. It is called with two arguments (the first is + of the form ``<code>servername:portnumber</code>'', the second is either + ``<code>RSA</code>'' or ``<code>DSA</code>''), which indicate for which + server and algorithm it has to print the corresponding Pass Phrase to + <code>stdout</code>. The intent is that this external program first runs + security checks to make sure that the system is not compromised by an + attacker, and only when these checks were passed successfully it provides + the Pass Phrase.</p> + <p> + Both these security checks, and the way the Pass Phrase is determined, can + be as complex as you like. Mod_ssl just defines the interface: an + executable program which provides the Pass Phrase on <code>stdout</code>. + Nothing more or less! So, if you're really paranoid about security, here + is your interface.

When <em>bytes</em> is not specified the whole file forms the + entropy (and <code>0</code> is given to <code>/path/to/source</code> as + the first argument). Use this especially at startup time, for instance + with an available <code>/dev/random</code> and/or + <code>/dev/urandom</code> devices (which usually exist on modern Unix + derivates like FreeBSD and Linux).</p> + <p> + <em>But be careful</em>: Usually <code>/dev/random</code> provides only as + much entropy data as it actually has, i.e. when you request 512 bytes of + entropy, but the device currently has only 100 bytes available two things + can happen: On some platforms you receive only the 100 bytes while on + other platforms the read blocks until enough bytes are available (which + can take a long time). Here using an existing <code>/dev/urandom</code> is + better, because it never blocks and actually gives the amount of requested + data. The drawback is just that the quality of the received data may not + be the best.</p> + <p> + On some platforms like FreeBSD one can even control how the entropy is + actually generated, i.e. by which system interrupts. More details one can + find under <em>rndcontrol(8)</em> on those platforms. Alternatively, when + your system lacks such a random device, you can use tool + like <a href="http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/">EGD</a> + (Entropy Gathering Daemon) and run it's client program with the + <code>exec:/path/to/program/</code> variant (see below) or use + <code>egd:/path/to/egd-socket</code> (see below).</p></li> + +<li><code>exec:/path/to/program</code> + <p> + This variant uses an external executable + <code>/path/to/program</code> as the source for seeding the + PRNG. When <em>bytes</em> is specified, only the first + <em>bytes</em> number of bytes of its <code>stdout</code> contents + form the entropy. When <em>bytes</em> is not specified, the + entirety of the data produced on <code>stdout</code> form the + entropy.

Using this in the connection context + slows down the server too dramatically, of course.
