Oh shit, my fault: MSIE actually comes in with a User-Agent of "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT)", so the regex has to be ".*MSIE.*" and not
"^MSIE.*". Fixed on en4.engelschall.com. Please try again.

RE: Practical solution for MSIE problems!?

1999-03-29 Thread John Hamlik

This is what I know:

1) The patch from Ralf with the modified regex of ".*MSIE.*" works to
work around the issue.  Seems like there must be a better way. hmmm. Has
anyone reported this to Microsoft?  I know it probably wouldn't do much
good but it seems like they have a problem with a standard and we would
still have to work around it.
2) Happens only with IE clients.
3) Must be refreshed between 16 and 59 secs with standard installation.
4) Must have more than one file being accessed per child process per
refresh. A simple html page will not cause the error. A page with a
graphic for instance will cause the error. Why??
5) When the error occurs their is nothing recorded in any of the server
logs with debug enabled on both apache and mod_ssl.
6) If one disables keep-alives the problem doesn't exists.
7) Seems like it would be easy for people to screw up and not put the
SetEnvIf in the SSL-aware virtual host and then post the issue again.
7) The new suite (apache,mod_ssl,openssl) passes all of my test now!
yippie..
7) Ralf does a great job! Thank you.

Re: Practical solution for MSIE problems!?

1999-03-29 Thread Toru Takinaka


So, those of you who've still problems with MSIE clients, should now apply the
appended patch to ssl_engine_kernel.c and add the following line to the
SSL-aware virtual host:
   SetEnvIf User-Agent "^MSIE.*" ssl-unclean-shutdown
I think that this line is wrong.

IE 5.0 User-Agent is
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT)

then it matches
SetEnvIf User-Agent "^.*MSIE.*" ssl-unclean-shutdown
or
BrowserMatch "MSIE" ssl-unclean-shutdown

I added the following line to the
SSL-aware virtual host:
BrowserMatch "MSIE" ssl-unclean-shutdown
And it works fine.

Yeah, sorry. This was my fault. I've overlooked the fact that MSIE announces
itself as Mozilla. It's now already fixed for 2.2.7 where the SetEnvIf is
enabled per default.

 anyone reported this to Microsoft?  I know it probably wouldn't do much
 good but it seems like they have a problem with a standard and we would
 still have to work around it.

The only better way is that Microsoft fixes their MSIE clients, of course.
Because their software doesn't correctly handle keep-alive connections and the
SSL close notify alerts on connection close. At least our current work-around
is the most clean work-around we can do on the server-side, of course.

 2) Happens only with IE clients.

Yes, I know

 3) Must be refreshed between 16 and 59 secs with standard installation.
 4) Must have more than one file being accessed per child process per
 refresh. A simple html page will not cause the error. A page with a
 graphic for instance will cause the error. Why??

A page with a graphic usually means that the graphic is transferred in the
kept-alive connection. The problem MSIE has really seems to be related to a
combination of the keep-alive facility of HTTP and the close notify alerts of
SSL/TLS.

 5) When the error occurs their is nothing recorded in any of the server
 logs with debug enabled on both apache and mod_ssl.

That's interesting, because it means mod_ssl cannot see any unusual packets,
but MSIE internally reached his bugs.

 6) If one disables keep-alives the problem doesn't exists.

Yes, as I said: The problem is a _combination_ of keep-alive and SSL close
notify alerts.

 7) Seems like it would be easy for people to screw up and not put the
 SetEnvIf in the SSL-aware virtual host and then post the issue again.

I'll both enable the SetEnvIf per default in httpd.conf-dist with 2.2.7 and
add an entry to the mod_ssl FAQ. Thanks for the hint.

 7) The new suite (apache,mod_ssl,openssl) passes all of my test now!
 yippie..
 7) Ralf does a great job! Thank you.

Fine, thanks.  And I've to thank you all for discovering the MSIE bug and
helping me in finding a final work-around, of course.

Yes, I've thought about this, too. But I've finally decided that it's more
safe to force the unclean shutdown for _all_ MSIE clients until the first
version occurs on the net which always works. People can use more specific
regex when they want, but for the default config I think it's best and safe to
use ".*MSIE.*"...

ANNOUNCE: mod_ssl 2.2.7

1999-03-29 Thread Ralf S. Engelschall


Another update is available before new features will be introduced (in 2.2.8):
mod_ssl 2.2.7 for Apache 1.3.6.  This version mainly contains support for the
MSIE client workaround.  Additionally some memory leaks were fixed. The next
version (2.2.8) will introduce shared memory support for EAPI together with a
high-performance shared memory based session cache (is already implemented and
works fine, but needs some more cleanups and testing).

Greetings,
   Ralf S. Engelschall
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   www.engelschall.com

  Changes with mod_ssl 2.2.7 (24-Mar-1999 to 29-Mar-1999)

   *) Fixed the ``HTTPS request received for child'' log entries: Now no
  longer multiple copies of a message occur, because mod_ssl logs them
  only on initial requests (and no longer on sub-requests and internal
  redirects).

   *) Fixed a few more memory leaks which occured on server restarts.

   *) Added entry to the FAQ for the MSIE work-around with
  ``SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown''.

   *) Added support for two SetEnvIf variables: ssl-unclean-shutdown and
  ssl-accurate-shutdown. These can be used to for instance force different
  shutdown approaches for particular browsers. An ``SetEnvIf User-Agent
  ".*MSIE.*" ssl-unclean-shutdown'' now forces the old mod_ssl 2.1
  behaviour where no close notify messages are sent at all before
  connection close. An ``SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*Lynx.*"
  ssl-accurate-shutdown'' forces an accurate shutdown when the client is
  Lynx+OpenSSL where mod_ssl both sends it's close notify alert and waits
  for the close notify alert of the client.

   *) Updated source file dependecies in src/modules/ssl/Makefile.tmpl.

  Yes and no. Except for the security fix (the session tagging call) the

  0x0920 stuff is either consistency (the ciphers), cleanness (the
  SSL_clean
  call) or not imporant. At least because of this nothing should fail

  version.
 [GOMEZ Henri]  We have to wait so for OpenSSL 0.9.2 RPM...
 

Well, at http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/contrib/ there are
intel binaries now. Two points of caution to it:
- they are built from CVS snapshots. Steve Henson is working on
PKCS12 support which might break the standalone pkcs12 utility
he published.
- there is no corresponding source package because I did not
automate the complete build into a real spec file.

When I've found time to solve the second point, I'll upload new
binary and source packages with a higher release number and built
from the 'official' frozen 0.9.2 sources.

Because of that, the 'release number' is 0_0328 to reflect the
CVS snapshot it is made from. 'rpm -q --changelog openssl' will
show the top of the cvs CHANGES log.

Upgrade from 2.2.6-1.3.6 to 2.2.7 problem

1999-03-29 Thread Igor S. Livshits

Hello,

I had a working 2.2.6-1.3.6 setup and decided to try the quick 
libssl.so-only upgrade. I rebuilt the library via

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs 
--with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.2b/ --with-rsa=../rsaref-2.0/local/

and then ran make and make install.

The library failed to work however:

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libssl.so into server: 
/usr/local/apache/libexec/libssl.so: undefined symbol: dbm_firstkey


Recompiling apache-1.3.6 with the 2.2.7 distribution worked just 
fine. I've successfully rebuilt modules with apxs before, but I have 
never succeeded in rebuilding libssl.so alone.

[BugDB] sslv3 alert bad certificate (PR#144)

1999-03-29 Thread bugdb-mod-ssl

Full_Name: Tom O'Brien
Version: 2.2.7
OS: Solaris 7
Submission from: sticky.globix.net (209.208.255.43)


I'm using Apache 1.3.6/mod_ssl 2.2.7/OpenSSL 0.9.2b.  I seem to be getting
some nasty errors with this config...

httpd: [Mon Mar 29 11:38:38 1999] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake interrupted by
system
httpd: [Mon Mar 29 11:38:48 1999] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (client
208.242.201.220, server www.penthouse.com:443) (SSLeay library error follows)
httpd: [Mon Mar 29 11:38:48 1999] [error] SSLeay: error:14094412:SSL
routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate [Hint: Subject CN in
certificate not server name!?]

The handshake errors don't seem to be much bother, but the bad certificate
alerts seem to be related to Netscape 3.0 browsers (and others?).  The
browser returns an error "The security library has experienced a database
error.  You probably cannot retrieve this page securely."

This wasn't happening with my older Netscape servers.  I've tried several
apache/mod_ssl/openssl/ssleay configs and I'm at the end of my rope.

Any ideas?

Re: ANNOUNCE: mod_ssl 2.2.7

1999-03-29 Thread tvaughan

"Ralf S. Engelschall" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Another update is available before new features will be introduced (in 2.2.8):
 mod_ssl 2.2.7 for Apache 1.3.6.  This version mainly contains support for the
 MSIE client workaround.  Additionally some memory leaks were fixed. The next
 version (2.2.8) will introduce shared memory support for EAPI together with a
 high-performance shared memory based session cache (is already implemented and
 works fine, but needs some more cleanups and testing).

Would you be willing to comment on this "shared memory support for EAPI
together with a high-performance shared memory based session cache"? Are
you referring to the SSL session cache when you say "shared memory based
session cache"? Will there be just one shared memory pool, or will there be 
a shared memory pool per module? Unless there is some standard way to come
up with session id's then there is the possiblity that modules could use
the same session id within the same pool which would be bad. Which leads me
to beleive that it would be nice to have a "tighter integration" between
other modules, "the session cache" and the SSL session id. Since there is a
good amount of assurance that this SSL session id cannot be spoofed unlike
other methods based on cookies or some such thing. Recent events not with
standing.

Much Thanks,
Tom

Re: Apache with mod_ssl caching old pages under https

1999-03-29 Thread Craig McDaniel

If you removed the directory than it would be impossible (If I am
understanding what you are saying correctly) to still retrieve the
information.  I would suggest totally flushing out the Netscape cache. 
There might be a problem where https documents are not removed for some
reason or another that I am not aware of.  Try another https compliant
browser to see if that works...

Hope this helps =)

 
 I'm having a problem where apache will not refresh updated pages under
 https after I've made a change to them. I first saw this problem with:
 
 apache 1.3.4; mod_ssl 2.2.0-1.3.4; SSLeay-0.9.0b; php-3.0.6.
 
 I have now upgraded to:
 
 apache 1.3.6, mod_ssl 2.2.6-1.3.6; openssl-0.9.2b; php-3.0.7
 
 In an attempt to fix the problem, but it is still there. Under the http
 protocol everything works fine, but with https pages are not updated to
 the new code. I'm sure this is a problem with apache, not the browser,
 because I'm using php3 scripts which access a database and I've changed
 the tables and the scripts to match, but under https there is a database
 error.
 
 An extreme example of this problem is that I removed the entire directory
 that houses the web site and under https it still displays the pages,
 while under http it gets a file not found error.
 
 If anybody knows what is going on here or where I can look for further
 information, please help me.
 
 I'm running linux 2.0.36
 
 Thanks,
 Afam Agbodike

[BugDB] Compilation problems in make certificate (PR#145)

1999-03-29 Thread bugdb-mod-ssl

Full_Name: Jason Prensell
Version: 2.2.7-1.3.6
OS: Solaris 2.6
Submission from: spanky.umd.umich.edu (141.215.66.66)


I'm having a hell of a time running a make certificate after the source has been
build. This is the error I receive upon "make certificate TYPE=test":

Undefined   first referenced
 symbol in file
ERR_load_RSAREF_strings /usr/local/ssl/lib libcrypto.a(err_all.o)
RSA_PKCS1_RSAref/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(rsa_lib.o)

Now, for the life of me, I cannot get those to compile in. I compiled the latest
SNAP (the releases caused this same problem anyway) of OpenSSL, and I build with
RSAREF (sigh). Even though RSAREF is a pain in the ass, I was able to get
everything to work cleanly. However, from the above failed references, I
apparently haven't. Any ideas?
