One more thing:  this issue actually applies to all files of any type.  
Anything bigger than about 30K gets truncated.

Perhaps it's the "I love to be on the bleeding edge" drive in me which has 
regrettably proven to be something other than a brilliant move so many times, 
but I question why would you not install Apache 2.0.40 and skip the 1.3.26 
all together?  

It seems to work so much better right out of the tarball, having mod_so, 
pre-compiled into the code, making the addition of mod_perl and mod_ssl 
seemingly much easier.  

I do know that the install of 2.0.X has been quite smooth, relative to 
1.3.26.

Am I off track in that assumption?   Am I leading this fellow astray?   
Perhaps there are quirks that won't allow an install to RHL 6.2 and Sun US 10?

First of all, it is critical that you upgrade to 2.0.40, as you are
currently wide open to attack with the Win32-related vulnerabilities in
2.0.39.

Corrupt Jar and Cab files

2002-08-20 Thread Edward Wong

Hello All,

I'm seeing strange behavior when running apache 2.0.39 on Windows XP, where 
jar and cab files are truncated after after only 16K or so (my jar/cab files 
are actually around 100K).  This seems to happen with just about any 
browser, regardless of the JVM.  Also, this issue only occurs on Windows XP. 
  Win2k, WinNT, and Linux all work properly.

In Windows XP under http, everything seems to work just fine.  Under https, 
everything works fine EXCEPT for the jar and cab files.  Taking a look at 
the java cache shows that natually, the jar and cab files are missing.  My 
ssl conf files are as follows:

Actally something like "having an autocorrelation function which looks like a dirac 
delta function" is better.
Since an algorithm can never produce real random, there are actually "hardware random 
generators" using a source like zener noise for random.

Re: Resetting passphrase

2002-08-20 Thread Peter Viertel

you have only one option - renew the certificate

you have to pay up again, and submit a new csr based on a new key, but 
with identical certificate information.
not sure about verisign, but at least with thawte the renewal adds a 
year to the expiry date of the previous certificate, so at least you're 
not losing money on the deal, you're just renewing earlier than needed.

Re: Problem starting Apache (yes I have read the FAQs!)

2002-08-20 Thread Peter Viertel

there's more info on this in the reference manual, than the FAQ.

http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html#ToC4

Basically try changing the 'startup' one to use a 
file:/path/to/file/with/junk/in/it that points at a file with something 
random enough in it - I'm not mr crypto, but, by random I take it that 
something an outside party cant guess ought to be enough, and you need 
to experiment with file lengths a bit to find what works enough - some 
people advocate using the syslog output. Of course if you're just 
hacking around and you dont care that the NSA or the Home Office might 
be able to decrypt your ssl streams, then why stress out about it?

the 'connect' one however should get by using the builtin or see if you 
can get egd working - this one does affect performance, so avoid using 
the exec: option because spawning processes is not cheap on resources.

Try using prngd ...

Hope this helps,

Problem starting Apache (yes I have read the FAQs!)

2002-08-20 Thread rmr1


Hi all -

This seems to be a commonly reported problem, but for all the archives
and FAQs I've read, I am no further forward. Here is the situation: 

Apache 1.3.26, openSSL 0.9.6g, mod_ssl 2.8.10-1.3.26, Compaq Tru64 UNIX
4.0F.

On starting Apache, it immediately exits and logs the following in the
error log file:

[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate
temporary 512 bit RSA private key (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa
routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib

The FAQ refers to the SSLRandomSeed directive; this is set in the
httpd.conf file as

SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

(As I'm running on Tru64 I don't have the option of using /dev/random)

It also refers to problems at the "make certificate" stage; that seems
to have gone through without any problems.

I've also read that there are problems with PHP, so I have removed all
reference in the httpd.conf file to the dynamic PHP module, and for good
measure the dynamic Apache Jserv module, so these are not loading. Still
no diference.

Can anyone offer me some more pointers?

Thanks

Richard

Client certificate mapping in OpenLDAP

2002-08-20 Thread mac leus

Hello all,

I would like to know if anyone has experience with client certificate
mapping in LDAP. I know that there is a module called mod_authz, but I don't know
if it is any good. 

Thanks,

Leus

still no message for old browsers

2002-08-20 Thread Jeroen Vriesman

Hi,

thanks for the tips on how to create a situation where browsers which cannot handle 
128 bits encryption are redirected to an upgrade message.

I get the idea of using the rewrite rules, but I'm still stuck.

I have a separate directory /var/www/messages configured with rewriteEngine off, 
aliased as /messages, but browsers without the 128 bits encryption capability don't 
seem to be able to access it, even if I allow all SSLCipherSuite.

Even if I get rid of the SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE} >= 128 completely, 
browsers without 128 bits encryption cannot access anything.

I do have a "global server certificate" from verisign, with an intermediate 
certificate installed with SSLCACertificateFile, could that have something to do with 
it?

Cheers,
Jeroen.
