Exactly. Even though they work for AOL, they are still a part of the AOLserver community and should have a vote. I wish I could have put it this clearly. /s. -Original Message- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:AOLSERVER;LISTSERV.AOL.COM] On Behalf Of Jeff Hobbs Sent: Friday, November

Hi Keith, Just append all the CA cert files in the chain into one file, then use the ServerCAFile param to point to it. These CA cert files should be in PEM format. We're using that here for our DoD CA chain and it works great. /s. On Thursday, January 16, 2003, at 12:07 PM, Keith Paskett

Re: [AOLSERVER] Is Aolserver vulnerable?

After looking through the 3.4.2 source code, the answer is no. TRACE is not a supported HTTP method in AOLserver. I used cscope to find all occurences of TRACE and found none. Also checked the Tcl module that come with the server. It might be wise to register a proc to log that a TRACE request

I think a registered filter put in before any other filter would be better, unless you have a specific error page you want to show that's in OpenACS. My code is returning our error page; I wouldn't want to rely on a more complex module to perform this function for me. A bug in your rewrite code

Note that you will see some EOFs in the log files that are normal and aren't due to failures. I see them all the time because we're using client certs -- MSIE makes a connection, realizes the server wants a client cert, cuts the conn (EOF), asks the user which client cert they want to use, then

Find out what browser types and versions you expect your users to use and go see what CA certs are preloaded into them. That's the list of CAs you should choose from. Getting a server cert from anyone else, or generating your own, will cause your user's browsers to popup the invalid site warning.
