Hi Mark,

I use SSLFakeBasicAuth in my httpd.conf. I assumed it was encrypted because
I'm stating to use SSL but fake basic Auth. Maybe I am not understanding
SSLFakeBasicAuth? Let me know what other people say, I would appericate
that.

Thanks
Ron

Subject: What is a good way to determine this


I have what I think is probably an easy question to answer, but I have done
some searching and have not found anything obvious. The gist of the
question is:

I have mod_ssl running and have my entire site covered with it (there is
nothing listening on port 80). I also have .htaccess files forcing people
to log into the site. Is the username and password transaction from the
.htaccess prompt encrypted, being as it is the first thing the user logging
on is prompted to perform?

My gut feeling is, of course. I have SSL options protecting the directory
and the .htaccess file (i will include those at the end). But the reason
why I am doubting myself is the logs show me something sketchy. I have a
Custom log that shows the username and SSL environment variables of the
user logging in:

...
    LogFormat "%t \t%u \t-->
%{SSL_CIPHER}e  %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE}e  %{SSL_PROTOCOL}e <--
\t%r"  sslformat
    CustomLog logs/ssl/mbsindassl.log sslformat
...

But here is the log file entry that I am worried about:
...
[27/Nov/2002:16:46:29 -0500]    -       --> -  -  - <--         GET /index.html 
HTTP/1.1
[27/Nov/2002:16:46:34 -0500]    mbarton         --> RC4-MD5  128  SSLv3 <--     GET
/index.html HTTP/1.1
...

The log file shows first the request with no username (which makes sense
because they haven't logged on yet) but the SSL environment variables are
all NULL too. So is this just a problem with the way environment variables
are reported to the log? Because it looks like there is not an SSL
connection before the user logs in!

I have verifed that SSL is up and running and working correctly for the
site with s_client.

The software I am using is:
Windows 2000
Apache 1.3.27
Mod_SSL 2.8.12
OpenSSL 0.9.6g


Here is the top-level .htaccess file
------------------------------------------------------------
AuthName "Dude, you had better be authorized"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:/MBserver/Apache/bin/.htpasswd"

SSLRequireSSL
SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE} >= 128

require user mbarton


Here is the relevant SSL Portion of the httpd.conf file

I appreciate you guys taking a look at this,
