Hi,
Is there a way to load Apache and Internet Explorer with keys so that a "private tunnel" is created automatically?
What I'm looking for is an arrangement where only a user who has keys that I've given him can use a browser to connect to my server on Port 443.
(I'm aware of STUNNEL and similar solutions, but I'm looking for a solution where only the browser and the server are involved.)
You are looking for client cert authentification, take another look at the good docs at
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_howto.html#ToC6
Generate your own CA and user certs, import them into IE by using the pkcs12 cert format. Google for ssl.ca-0.1 from Yeak Nai Siew, these scripts will take you through all neccessary steps. Finally configure apache and you're done.
