Most of the dirty work is handled by either configure or Apache's apxs utility. If you have built Apache modules before, there shouldn't be any surprises for you. </p> <p> The interesting options you can pass to configure are:</p> <ul> <li><code>--with-apxs=/path/to/apache/dir/bin/apxs</code> <p> This option is used to specify the location of the apxs utility that was installed as part of apache. Specify the location of the binary, not the directory it is located in. </p> </li> <li><code>--with-libgnutls=PATH</code> <p>Full path to the <code>libgnutls-config</code> program.</p> </li> <li><code>--with-apr-memcache=PREFIX</code> <p>Prefix to where <code><a href="/projects/libs/apr_memcache">apr_memcache</a></code> is installed.</p> </li> <li><code>--help</code> <p>Provides a list of available configure options.</p> </li> </ul> <pre class="example">./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2 --with-libgnutls=/usr make make install </pre> </div> <div id="integration"> <h3>Integration into Apache</h3> <p>To activate <code>mod_gnutls</code> Just add<br/><br/> <code>LoadModule gnutls_module modules/mod_gnutls.so</code> to your <code>httpd.conf</code> and restart Apache. </p> </div> <div id="index"> <h3>Examples</h3> <p>Some example configuration and the exported variables to scripts can be found in the following sections:</p> <ul> <li><a href="#example">Simple example</a></li> <li><a href="#sni-example">Example with Server Name Indication</a></li> <li><a href="#performance-example">Performance Issues</a></li> <li><a href="#environment-variables">Environment variables</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="configuration"> <h3>Configuring with Apache</h3> <p><code>mod_gnutls</code> has the following directives:</p> <ul> <li><a href="#GnuTLSCache">GnuTLSCache</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSCacheTimeout">GnuTLSCacheTimeout</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSCertificateFile">GnuTLSCertificateFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSKeyFile">GnuTLSKeyFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSPGPCertificateFile">GnuTLSPGPCertificateFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSPGPKeyFile">GnuTLSPGPKeyFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSClientVerify">GnuTLSClientVerify</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSClientCAFile">GnuTLSClientCAFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSPGPKeyringFile">GnuTLSPGPKeyringFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSEnable">GnuTLSEnable</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSDHFile">GnuTLSDHFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSRSAFile">GnuTLSRSAFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSSRPPasswdFile">GnuTLSSRPPasswdFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSSRPPasswdConfFile">GnuTLSSRPPasswdConfFile</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSPriorities">GnuTLSPriorities</a></li> <li><a href="#GnuTLSExportCertificates">GnuTLSExportCertificates</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="example"> <h3>Standard SSL Example</h3> <p>The following is an example of standard SSL Hosting, using one IP Addresses for each virtual host:</p> <pre class="example"> # Load the module into Apache.

This file holds the SRP parameters and is associate with the password file (the verifiers depends on these parameters). </p> Example Usage: <pre class="example">GnuTLSSRPPasswdConfFile conf/ssl/tpasswd.conf</pre> </div> <div id="GnuTLSPriorities" class="apache_directive"> <h3>GnuTLSPriorities</h3> <table class="directive"> <tr> <th>Description:</th> <td>Set the allowed ciphers, key exchange algorithms, MACs and compression methods.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Syntax:</th> <td><code>GnuTLSPriorities <var>+cipher0:+cipher1:...:+cipherN</var></code></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Default:</th> <td><code>none</code></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Context:</th> <td> server config, virtual host. </td> </tr> </table> <p>Takes a semi-colon separated list of ciphers, key exchange methods Message authentication codes and compression methods to enable. The allowed keywords are specified in the <code>gnutls_priority_init()</code> function of <code>GnuTLS</code>. It's documentation can be found at <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Core-functions.html#Core-functions">Core GnuTLS functions.</a> </p><p> In brief you can specify a set of ciphersuites from the choices: <ul> <li>NONE: The empty list.</li> <li>EXPORT: A list with all the supported cipher combinations including the "EXPORT" strength algorithms.</li> <li>PERFORMANCE: A list with all the secure cipher combinations sorted in terms of performance.</li> <li>NORMAL: A list with all the secure cipher combinations sorted with respect to security margin (subjective term).</li> <li>SECURE: A list with all the secure cipher combinations including the 256-bit ciphers sorted with respect to security margin.</li> </ul> Additionally you can add or remove algorithms using the "+" and "!" prefixes respectively. That is in order to disable the ARCFOUR cipher from the "NORMAL" set you can use the string <code>NORMAL:!ARCFOUR-128</code>. Other options such as the protocol version and the compression method can be specified using the <code>VERS-</code> and <code>COMP-</code> prefixes. So in order to remove or add a specific TLS version from the "NORMAL" set use <code>NORMAL:!VERS-SSL3.0</code>. To enable zlib compression use <code>NORMAL:+COMP-DEFLATE</code>. However it is recommended not to add compression at this level. With the "NONE" set, in order to be usable, you have to specify a complete set of combinations of protocol versions, cipher algorithms (AES-128-CBC), key exchange algorithms (RSA), message authentication codes (SHA1) and compression methods (COMP-NULL). </p><p> All the supported algorithms are: <ul> <li>Ciphers: AES-256-CBC, AES-128-CBC, CAMELLIA-256-CBC, CAMELLIA-128-CBC, ARCFOUR-128, 3DES-CBC, ARCFOUR-40</li> <li>Key exchange methods: RSA, DHE-RSA, DHE-DSS, SRP, SRP-RSA, SRP-DSS, ANON-DH</li> <li>Message authentication codes: SHA1, MD5</li> <li>Compression methods: COMP-DEFLATE, COMP-NULL</li> <li>Protocol versions: VERS-TLS1.1, VERS-TLS1.0, VERS-SSL3.0</li> </ul> </p> <p>The special keyword "%COMPAT" will disable some security features such as protection against statistical attacks to ciphertext data in order to achieve maximum compatibility (some broken mobile clients need this). </p> Example Usage: <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities NORMAL:!AES-256-CBC:!DHE-RSA</pre> <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities EXPORT:!VERS-TLS1.0:+COMP-DEFLATE:+CTYPE-OPENPGP</pre> <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities NONE:+VERS-TLS1.0:+AES-128-CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-NULL</pre> <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities NORMAL:+COMP-DEFLATE</pre> <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities NORMAL:%COMPAT</pre> <pre class="example">GnuTLSPriorities NORMAL:+ANON-DH</pre> </div> </div> </td> <td style="width: auto;" class="right-space"> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td colspan="4" class="navbottom"/> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
