+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+<p>This module provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for the Apache
+HTTP Server. It was contributed by Ralf S. Engeschall based on his
+mod_ssl project and originally derived from work by Ben Laurie.</p>
+
+<p>This module relies on <a href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>
+to provide the cryptography engine.</p>
+
+<p>Further details, discussion, and examples are provided in the
+<a href="../ssl/">SSL documentation</a>.</p>

+This directive sets the optional <em>all-in-one</em> file where you can
+assemble the certificates of Certification Authorities (CA) which form the
+certificate chain of the server certificate. This starts with the issuing CA
+certificate of of the server certificate and can range up to the root CA
+certificate. Such a file is simply the concatenation of the various
+PEM-encoded CA Certificate files, usually in certificate chain order.</p>
+<p>
+This should be used alternatively and/or additionally to <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code> for explicitly
+constructing the server certificate chain which is sent to the browser
+in addition to the server certificate. It is especially useful to
+avoid conflicts with CA certificates when using client
+authentication. Because although placing a CA certificate of the
+server certificate chain into <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code> has the same effect
+for the certificate chain construction, it has the side-effect that
+client certificates issued by this same CA certificate are also
+accepted on client authentication. That's usually not one expect.</p>
+<p>
+But be careful: Providing the certificate chain works only if you are using a
+<em>single</em> (either RSA <em>or</em> DSA) based server certificate. If you are
+using a coupled RSA+DSA certificate pair, this will work only if actually both
+certificates use the <em>same</em> certificate chain. Else the browsers will be
+confused in this situation.</p>

+This complex directive uses a colon-separated <em>cipher-spec</em> string
+consisting of OpenSSL cipher specifications to configure the Cipher Suite the
+client is permitted to negotiate in the SSL handshake phase. 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). To specify which ciphers to use,
+one can either specify all the Ciphers, one at a time, or use aliases to
+specify the preference and order for the ciphers (see <a href="#table1">Table
+1</a>).</p>

+<p>
+Now where this becomes interesting is that these can be put together
+to specify the order and ciphers you wish to use. To speed this up
+there are also aliases (<code>SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, EXP, LOW, MEDIUM,
+HIGH</code>) for certain groups of ciphers. These tags can be joined
+together with prefixes to form the <em>cipher-spec</em>. Available
+prefixes are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>none: add cipher to list</li>
+<li><code>+</code>: add ciphers to list and pull them to current location in list</li>
+<li><code>-</code>: remove cipher from list (can be added later again)</li>
+<li><code>!</code>: kill cipher from list completely (can <strong>not</strong> be added later again)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>A simpler way to look at all of this is to use the ``<code>openssl ciphers
+-v</code>'' command which provides a nice way to successively create the
+correct <em>cipher-spec</em> string. The default <em>cipher-spec</em> string
+is ``<code>ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP</code>'' which
+means the following: first, remove from consideration any ciphers that do not
+authenticate, i.e. for SSL only the Anonymous Diffie-Hellman ciphers. Next,
+use ciphers using RC4 and RSA. Next include the high, medium and then the low
+security ciphers. Finally <em>pull</em> all SSLv2 and export ciphers to the
+end of the list.</p>

+This configures the SSL engine's semaphore (aka. lock) which is used for mutual
+exclusion of operations which have to be done in a synchronized way between the
+pre-forked Apache server processes. This directive can only be used in the
+global server context because it's only useful to have one global mutex.
+This directive is designed to closely match the
+<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#acceptmutex">AcceptMutex</a> directive</p>
+<p>
+The following Mutex <em>types</em> are available:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>none | no</code>
+ <p>
+ This is the default where no Mutex is used at all. Use it at your own
+ risk. But because currently the Mutex is mainly used for synchronizing
+ write access to the SSL Session Cache you can live without it as long
+ as you accept a sometimes garbled Session Cache. So it's not recommended
+ to leave this the default. Instead configure a real Mutex.</p></li>
+<li><code>posixsem</code>
+ <p>
+ This is an elegant Mutex variant where a Posix Semaphore is used when possible.
+ It is only available when the underlying platform
+ and APR supports it.</p></li>
+<li><code>sysvsem</code>
+ <p>
+ This is a somewhat elegant Mutex variant where a SystemV IPC Semaphore is used when
+ possible. It is possible to "leak" SysV semaphores if processes crash before
+ the semaphore is removed. It is only available when the underlying platform
+ and APR supports it.</p></li>
+<li><code>sem</code>
+ <p>
+ This directive tells the SSL Module to pick the "best" semaphore implementation
+ available to it, choosing between Posix and SystemV IPC, in that order. It is only
+ available when the underlying platform and APR supports at least one of the 2.</p></li>
+<li><code>pthread</code>
+ <p>
+ This directive tells the SSL Module to use Posix thread mutexes. It is only available
+ if the underlying platform and APR supports it.</p></li>
+<li><code>fcntl:/path/to/mutex</code>
+ <p>
+ This is a portable Mutex variant where a physical (lock-)file and the <code>fcntl()</code>
+ fucntion are used as the Mutex.
+ Always use a local disk filesystem for <code>/path/to/mutex</code> and never a file
+ residing on a NFS- or AFS-filesystem. It is only available when the underlying platform
+ and APR supports it. Note: Internally, the Process ID (PID) of the
+ Apache parent process is automatically appended to
+ <code>/path/to/mutex</code> to make it unique, so you don't have to worry
+ about conflicts yourself. Notice that this type of mutex is not available
+ under the Win32 environment. There you <em>have</em> to use the semaphore
+ mutex.</p></li>
+<li><code>flock:/path/to/mutex</code>
+ <p>
+ This is similar to the <code>fcntl:/path/to/mutex</code> method with the
+ exception that the <code>flock()</code> function is used to provide file
+ locking. It is only available when the underlying platform
+ and APR supports it.</p></li>
+<li><code>file:/path/to/mutex</code>
+ <p>
+ This directive tells the SSL Module to pick the "best" file locking implementation

+This directive can be used to control various run-time options on a
+per-directory basis. Normally, if multiple <code>SSLOptions</code>
+could apply to a directory, then the most specific one is taken
+completely; the options are not merged. However if <em>all</em> the
+options on the <code>SSLOptions</code> directive are preceded by a
+plus (<code>+</code>) or minus (<code>-</code>) symbol, the options
+are merged. Any options preceded by a <code>+</code> are added to the
+options currently in force, and any options preceded by a
+<code>-</code> are removed from the options currently in force.</p>
+<p>
+The available <em>option</em>s are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>StdEnvVars</code>
+ <p>
+ When this option is enabled, the standard set of SSL related CGI/SSI
+ environment variables are created. This per default is disabled for
+ performance reasons, because the information extraction step is a
+ rather expensive operation. So one usually enables this option for
+ CGI and SSI requests only.</p>
+</li>
+<li><code>CompatEnvVars</code>
+ <p>
+ When this option is enabled, additional CGI/SSI environment variables are
+ created for backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions. Look in
+ the <a href="../ssl/ssl_compat.html">Compatibility</a> chapter for details
+ on the particular variables generated.</p>
+</li>
+<li><code>ExportCertData</code>
+ <p>
+ When this option is enabled, additional CGI/SSI environment variables are
+ created: <code>SSL_SERVER_CERT</code>, <code>SSL_CLIENT_CERT</code> and
+ <code>SSL_CLIENT_CERT_CHAIN</code><em>n</em> (with <em>n</em> = 0,1,2,..).
+ These contain the PEM-encoded X.509 Certificates of server and client for
+ the current HTTPS connection and can be used by CGI scripts for deeper
+ Certificate checking. Additionally all other certificates of the client
+ certificate chain are provided, too. This bloats up the environment a
+ little bit which is why you have to use this option to enable it on
+ demand.</p>
+</li>
+<li><code>FakeBasicAuth</code>
+ <p>
+ When this option is enabled, the Subject Distinguished Name (DN) of the
+ Client X509 Certificate is translated into a HTTP Basic Authorization
+ username. This means that the standard Apache authentication methods can
+ be used for access control. The user name is just the Subject of the
+ Client's X509 Certificate (can be determined by running OpenSSL's
+ <code>openssl x509</code> command: <code>openssl x509 -noout -subject -in
+ </code><em>certificate</em><code>.crt</code>). Note that no password is
+ obtained from the user. Every entry in the user file needs this password:
+ ``<code>xxj31ZMTZzkVA</code>'', which is the DES-encrypted version of the
+ word `<code>password</code>''. Those who live under MD5-based encryption
+ (for instance under FreeBSD or BSD/OS, etc.) should use the following MD5
+ hash of the same word: ``<code>$1$OXLyS...$Owx8s2/m9/gfkcRVXzgoE/</code>''.</p>
+</li>
+<li><code>StrictRequire</code>
+ <p>
+ This <em>forces</em> forbidden access when <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
+ <code>SSLRequire</code> successfully decided that access should be
+ forbidden. Usually the default is that in the case where a ``<code>Satisfy
+ any</code>'' directive is used, and other access restrictions are passed,
+ denial of access due to <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> or
+ <code>SSLRequire</code> is overridden (because that's how the Apache
+ <code>Satisfy</code> mechanism should work.) But for strict access restriction
+ you can use <code>SSLRequireSSL</code> and/or <code>SSLRequire</code> in
+ combination with an ``<code>SSLOptions +StrictRequire</code>''. Then an
+ additional ``<code>Satisfy Any</code>'' has no chance once mod_ssl has
+ decided to deny access.</p>
+</li>
+<li><code>OptRenegotiate</code>
+ <p>
+ This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
+ directives are used in per-directory context. By default a strict
+ scheme is enabled where <em>every</em> per-directory reconfiguration of
+ SSL parameters causes a <em>full</em> SSL renegotiation handshake. When this
+ option is used mod_ssl tries to avoid unnecessary handshakes by doing more
+ granular (but still safe) parameter checks. Nevertheless these granular
+ checks sometimes maybe not what the user expects, so enable this on a
+ per-directory basis only, please.</p>

+When Apache starts up it has to read the various Certificate (see
+<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatefile">SSLCertificateFile</a></code>) and
+Private Key (see <code class="directive"><a href="#sslcertificatekeyfile">SSLCertificateKeyFile</a></code>) files of the
+SSL-enabled virtual servers. Because for security reasons the Private
+Key files are usually encrypted, mod_ssl needs to query the
+administrator for a Pass Phrase in order to decrypt those files. This
+query can be done in two ways which can be configured by
+<em>type</em>:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>builtin</code>
+ <p>
+ This is the default where an interactive terminal dialog occurs at startup
+ time just before Apache detaches from the terminal. Here the administrator
+ has to manually enter the Pass Phrase for each encrypted Private Key file.
+ Because a lot of SSL-enabled virtual hosts can be configured, the
+ following reuse-scheme is used to minimize the dialog: When a Private Key
+ file is encrypted, all known Pass Phrases (at the beginning there are
+ none, of course) are tried. 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. Anything else has to be left as an exercise to the
+ administrator, because local security requirements are so different.</p>
+ <p>
+ The reuse-algorithm above is used here, too. In other words: The external
+ program is called only once per unique Pass Phrase.</p></li>

+This directive sets how deeply mod_ssl should verify before deciding that the

+<p>
+The depth actually is the maximum number of intermediate certificate issuers,
+i.e. the number of CA certificates which are max allowed to be followed while
+verifying the remote server certificate. A depth of 0 means that self-signed
+remote server certificates are accepted only, the default depth of 1 means
+the remote server certificate can be self-signed or has to be signed by a CA
+which is directly known to the server (i.e. the CA's certificate is under

+ <p> This is the always available builtin seeding source. It's usage

+ without drawbacks. The source used for seeding the PRNG contains of the
+ current time, the current process id and (when applicable) a randomly
+ choosen 1KB extract of the inter-process scoreboard structure of Apache.
+ The drawback is that this is not really a strong source and at startup
+ time (where the scoreboard is still not available) this source just
+ produces a few bytes of entropy. So you should always, at least for the
+ startup, use an additional seeding source.</p></li>
+<li><code>file:/path/to/source</code>
+ <p>
+ This variant uses an external file <code>/path/to/source</code> as the
+ source for seeding the PRNG. When <em>bytes</em> is specified, only the
+ first <em>bytes</em> number of bytes of the file form the entropy (and
+ <em>bytes</em> is given to <code>/path/to/source</code> as the first
+ argument). 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>

+ <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. Use this only at startup time when you need a very strong
+ seeding with the help of an external program (for instance as in
+ the example above with the <code>truerand</code> utility you can
+ find in the mod_ssl distribution which is based on the AT&amp;T
+ <em>truerand</em> library). Using this in the connection context
+ slows down the server too dramatically, of course. So usually you
+ should avoid using external programs in that context.</p></li>
+<li><code>egd:/path/to/egd-socket</code> (Unix only)
+ <p>
+ This variant uses the Unix domain socket of the
+ external Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) (see <a href="http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/">http://www.lothar.com/tech
+ /crypto/</a>) to seed the PRNG. Use this if no random device exists
+ on your platform.</p></li>

+<p>
+This directive specifies a general access requirement which has to be
+fulfilled in order to allow access. It's a very powerful directive because the
+requirement specification is an arbitrarily complex boolean expression
+containing any number of access checks.</p>
+<p>
+The <em>expression</em> must match the following syntax (given as a BNF
+grammar notation):</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+expr ::= "<strong>true</strong>" | "<strong>false</strong>"
+ | "<strong>!</strong>" expr
+ | expr "<strong>&amp;&amp;</strong>" expr
+ | expr "<strong>||</strong>" expr
+ | "<strong>(</strong>" expr "<strong>)</strong>"
+ | comp
+
+comp ::= word "<strong>==</strong>" word | word "<strong>eq</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>!=</strong>" word | word "<strong>ne</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>&lt;</strong>" word | word "<strong>lt</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>&lt;=</strong>" word | word "<strong>le</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>&gt;</strong>" word | word "<strong>gt</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>&gt;=</strong>" word | word "<strong>ge</strong>" word
+ | word "<strong>in</strong>" "<strong>{</strong>" wordlist "<strong>}</strong>"
+ | word "<strong>=~</strong>" regex
+ | word "<strong>!~</strong>" regex
+
+wordlist ::= word
+ | wordlist "<strong>,</strong>" word
+
+word ::= digit
+ | cstring
+ | variable
+ | function
+
+digit ::= [0-9]+
+cstring ::= "..."
+variable ::= "<strong>%{</strong>" varname "<strong>}</strong>"
+function ::= funcname "<strong>(</strong>" funcargs "<strong>)</strong>"
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+<p>while for <code>varname</code> any variable from <a href="#table3">Table 3</a> can be used. Finally for
+<code>funcname</code> the following functions are available:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>file(</code><em>filename</em><code>)</code>
+ <p>
+ This function takes one string argument and expands to the contents of the
+ file. This is especially useful for matching this contents against a
+ regular expression, etc.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Notice that <em>expression</em> is first parsed into an internal machine
+representation and then evaluated in a second step. Actually, in Global and
+Per-Server Class context <em>expression</em> is parsed at startup time and
+at runtime only the machine representation is executed. For Per-Directory
+context this is different: here <em>expression</em> has to be parsed and
+immediately executed for every request.</p>

+This configures the storage type of the global/inter-process SSL Session
+Cache. This cache is an optional facility which speeds up parallel request
+processing. For requests to the same server process (via HTTP keep-alive),
+OpenSSL already caches the SSL session information locally. But because modern
+clients request inlined images and other data via parallel requests (usually
+up to four parallel requests are common) those requests are served by
+<em>different</em> pre-forked server processes. Here an inter-process cache
+helps to avoid unneccessary session handshakes.</p>
+<p>
+The following two storage <em>type</em>s are currently supported:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>none</code>
+ <p>
+ This is the default and just disables the global/inter-process Session
+ Cache. There is no drawback in functionality, but a noticeable speed
+ penalty can be observed.</p></li>
+<li><code>dbm:/path/to/datafile</code>
+ <p>
+ This makes use of a DBM hashfile on the local disk to synchronize the
+ local OpenSSL memory caches of the server processes. The slight increase
+ in I/O on the server results in a visible request speedup for your
+ clients, so this type of storage is generally recommended.</p></li>
+<li><code>shm:/path/to/datafile</code>[<code>(</code><em>size</em><code>)</code>]
+ <p>
+ This makes use of a high-performance hash table (approx. <em>size</em> bytes
+ in size) inside a shared memory segment in RAM (established via
+ <code>/path/to/datafile</code>) to synchronize the local OpenSSL memory
+ caches of the server processes. This storage type is not available on all
+ platforms.</p></li>

+Authentication. Notice that this directive can be used both in per-server and
+per-directory context. In per-server context it applies to the client

+This directive sets how deeply mod_ssl should verify before deciding that the
+clients don't have a valid certificate. Notice that this directive can be
+used both in per-server and per-directory context. In per-server context it
+applies to the client authentication process used in the standard SSL
+handshake when a connection is established. In per-directory context it forces
+a SSL renegotation with the reconfigured client verification depth after the
+HTTP request was read but before the HTTP response is sent.</p>
+<p>
+The depth actually is the maximum number of intermediate certificate issuers,
+i.e. the number of CA certificates which are max allowed to be followed while
+verifying the client certificate. A depth of 0 means that self-signed client
+certificates are accepted only, the default depth of 1 means the client
+certificate can be self-signed or has to be signed by a CA which is directly
+known to the server (i.e. the CA's certificate is under
+<code class="directive"><a href="#sslcacertificatepath">SSLCACertificatePath</a></code>), etc.</p>
