最近在研究Linux下的apache-ssl配置，写点个人小心得，新人发博，敬请见谅。
软件环境
Apache Httpd 2.2.29 (http://httpd.apache.org ) OpenSSL 1.0.1h (http://www.openssl.org/source ) SSL-Tools (http://www.openssl.org/contrib/ssl.ca-0.1.tar.gz )
1. OpenSSL
#tar zxvf openssl-1.0.1h.tar.gz #cd openssl-1.0.1h #./config #make #make install
此举将安装最新的OpenSSL到/usr/local/ssl目录中，无需理会系统中已有版本的OpenSSL，也不要去卸载它，否则会导致很多的应用程序无法正常执行，例如X窗口无法进入等错误。
2. Apache Httpd
#tar zxvf httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
#cd httpd-2.2.29 #./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/httpd --enable-ssl=static --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl #make #make install
此步骤在/apache/httpd目录中安装httpd服务(通过参数--prefix指定)，同时使用--with-ssl指定刚才所安装OpenSSL的路径，用于将mod_ssl静态的编译到httpd服务中。
3.制作证书
我们必须手工来生成SSL用到的证书，对证书不熟悉的人，有一个工具可以使用：http://www.openssl.org/contrib/ssl.ca-0.1.tar.gz 。下面是如何通过这个工具来生成证书的过程：
#cp ssl.ca-0.1.tar.gz /usr/local/apache/httpd/conf #cd /usr/local/apache/conf #tar zxvf ssl.ca-0.1.tar.gz #cd ssl.ca-0.1 #./new-root-ca.sh (生成根证书) No Root CA key round. Generating one Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ........................... .... e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter pass phrase for ca.key:12345 (输入一个密码) Verifying - Enter pass phrase for ca.key: 12345(再输入一次密码) ...... Self-sign the root CA... (签署根证书) Enter pass phrase for ca.key:12345 (输入刚刚设置的密码) ........ ........ (下面开始签署) Country Name (2 letter code) [MY]:CN State or Province Name (full name) [Perak]:SD //随你喜欢 Locality Name (eg, city) [Sitiawan]:QD //随你喜欢 Organization Name (eg, company) [My Directory Sdn Bhd]:GX //随你喜欢 Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Certification Services Division]:GX //随你喜欢 Common Name (eg, MD Root CA) []:gaoxin.com //随你喜欢 Email Address []:12345@163.com//随你喜欢 这样就生成了ca.key和ca.crt两个文件，下面还要为我们的服务器生成一个证书： # ./new-server-cert.sh server (这个证书的名字是server) ...... ...... Country Name (2 letter code) [MY]:CN State or Province Name (full name) [Perak]:SD Locality Name (eg, city) [Sitiawan]: QD Organization Name (eg, company) [My Directory Sdn Bhd]:GX Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Secure Web Server]:GX Common Name (eg, www.domain.com) []:gaoxiaoit.com (必须与上面的不同，否则报错) Email Address []:123456@163.com 这样就生成了server.csr和server.key这两个文件。 还需要签署一下才能使用的： # ./sign-server-cert.sh server CA signing: server.csr -> server.crt: Using configuration from ca.config Enter pass phrase for ./ca.key:12345 (输入上面设置的根证书密码) Check that the request matches the signature Signature ok The Subject's Distinguished Name is as follows countryName:PRINTABLE:'CN' stateOrProvinceName:PRINTABLE:'GanSu' localityName:PRINTABLE:'LanZhou' organizationName:PRINTABLE:'lzu' organizationalUnitName:PRINTABLE:'lzu' commonName:PRINTABLE:'localhost' emailAddress :IA5STRING:'sunyanmeng@gmail.com' Certificate is to be certified until Jan 19 21:59:46 2011 GMT (365 days) Sign the certificate? [y/n]:y 1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]y Write out database with 1 new entries Data Base Updated CA verifying: server.crt <-> CA cert server.crt: OK
配置conf/extr/httpd-ssl.conf
找到#include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.confm去掉注释 下面要按照httpd-ssl.conf里面的设置，将证书放在适当的位置。
# cd .. # mkdir ssl.key # mv ssl.ca-0.1/server.key ssl.key # mkdir ssl.crt # mv ssl.ca-0.1/server.crt ssl.crt 然后就可以启动啦！ # cd /usr/local/apache 注意，apache2.2之后不支持startssl，所以只用start即可 # ./bin/apachectl start
4. 测试HTTP服务
使用浏览器打开地址：https://127.0.0.1 完毕！！
