Yes, I've done it a few times with apache 1.3 on Solaris, still mucking around with apache 2 though.
what you need is: a) the nCipher software for the o/s - these are binary only and will set up a daemon called hardserver, and another package that installs the CHIL library. If they don't have packages for your o/s you are screwed. b) get/compile openssl-engine not the standard openssl. c) test openssl: on a sun it goes like this: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/nfast/toolkits/hwcrhk # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH # openssl speed -engine chil d) now you have openssl talking nCipher ok, you need to recompile mod_ssl to use openssl-engine... use apache 1.3.24, and configure with SSL_EXPERIMENTAL option (without this, you cant get it to use nCipher). e) check you built httpd right: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/nfast/toolkits/hwcrhk # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH # httpd -L | grep SSLCryptoDevice f) add the following line to httpd.conf: SSLCryptoDevice chil Note this shows you how to get any nCipher to provide hardware acceleration, I think the stuff about getting apache to use keys stored in an nForce HSM is another topic altogether, and best left off-list unless enough people want to hear the gory details...
