Re: Install openssl without root rights
First, check to see that you're not able to have root rights via 'sudo'. If you can, you can just install it as a package. If you can't... Use './config --prefix=$HOME' (or whatever you want the installation's root to be), set 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/ssl/lib:$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile script, and 'make install' when you're ready to go. Get ready to compile everything you need to use the library yourself. You will also need to use --with-ssl=$HOME with most autoconf-generated configure scripts. You can avoid setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH by linking everything statically, but I don't recommend it. (For additional information about issues you will likely encounter, and the meaning of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as well as important caveats on its use, see the manpages for ld.so(1) and ldconfig(8).) -Kyle H On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 11:57 PM, fabermundi wrote: > > Hello, > I have to install openssl on a Computer with openSUSE where I don't have any > root rights. > Is this possible?

Re: Install openssl without root rights
It depends what you mean by 'install'. You can certainly install it under your home directory and use it or link to it. I often do that when testing with a new version. If you want to install it in a standard place like e.g. /usr/lib, then you need rights to write that directory, often root rights. owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org wrote on 09/28/2010 02:57:59 AM: > From: fabermundi > I have to install openssl on a Computer with openSUSE where I don't have any > root rights. > Is this possible?

Thanks in advance Step 1: Compile it yourself from source. Step 2: During compilation and install, install to your own home dir, not to /usr (requires root rights) or /usr/local (requires root or staff rights). Step 3: Whenever using/linking to OpenSSL, you must explicitly refer to the folders in your home dir (~/bin, ~/lib, ~/include etc.) where you installed it.

If you mean "Network Security with OpenSSL" then this is a good basic starter to OpenSSL, but it does not contain everything you need to know.

It is If you are new to openSSL, it is better to use version which is provided by your Linux distribution. Every linux distribution out there already includes OpenSSL, and applications which require SSL support are already compiled with it. Only if you are absolutely sure, that version provided by your distribution is too old for your needs, you should bother with compiling OpenSSL under Linux. > openssl-0.9.8j.tar.tar and I want to use it on Linux.

Typically, OpenSSL user doesn't create certificates. User creates certificate request, and send it to Certification Authority. Authority creates certificate. Of course, OpenSSL allows you to run your own CA. But it is a bit more complicated thing. Your linux distribution probably contain some scripts which simplify creation of certificate request.

Re: install openssl remote on linux
E, what's the web server software? Apache 2? Something else? In case of Apache v1 or v2, you very probably want to 'install' mod_ssl and then you need to install your server cert and pkey as well. Broadly speaking, that means you need access to the Apache config files at least, which is not webroot, at least not in my perception of what 'webroot' is (root dir of all web content (HTML files and such) and what is 'one above': is that '../' relatively speaking? Are all the httpd config files sitting there, or are they in /etc/httpd/ or in /... ? --> check distro manual for selected web server). Location of the Apache config files may differ slightly for each (Linux) distribution, and then, of course, the above only regards Apache 1 and 2 but there are many more web servers out there; each with their own setup/requirements, just like on Windows. ;-) Hence: best is to take this up with the linux server maintainer/admin and/or check vendor/distro manuals. Bottom line: most often, OpenSSL is already on there somewhere -- it's a library plus tools -- and you need to install the server extension/add-on/whatchammacallit which enables SSL functionality within the web server; then you need to configure the web server itself to actually offer SSL (HTTPS) connectivity, i.e. configure port 443 (open firewall too?), install the proper CA and server certificate files and server private key, and none of that should reside within the same space where you have your web content.

Re: install openssl remote on linux
If you have access to the C compiler (most web hosts do not grant
this), you can install it with the
'--prefix=/filesystem/path/to/where/you/want/the/sslroot/to/be' option
to ./config.
If you do not, then you can compile the binary under a VMware virtual
machine at home (do not use the 'shared' configuration-time option)
and upload it to your web host. This may or may not violate your
webhost's policies, so you should double check them before you do so.
Usually, Linux distributions include openssl, or at least include the
C compiler, so there's generally no need to pre-compile it as an
installation package.

Yes, you simple build with the prefix set to something like ~/ or ~/openssl.

OpenSSL is a development library, it's not a magical item that you just have to plug in your Windows environment to turn your machine into a secure vault Of course you need to have a compiler to use it, and if you plan to produce something to run with Windows, you'd better have a Visual C++ (you can compile the stuff with another compiler, I did it with Borland C++ Builder, but it's a real pain...).
