A Happy Programmer

http://www.zytrax.com/tech/survival/ssl.html http://www.zytrax.com/tech/survival/encryption.html This is a survival guide covering the mind-numbing topics of Cryptography, Encryption, Authorization and Authentication. For the mathematically challenged (and who is not) the maths involved in cryptography are gruesome in the extreme and are covered, if at all, at the level of 'stuff happens'. The guide concentrates on system functionality and consists almost exclusively of descriptions and explanations rather than specific commands or implementations.  Much of this stuff is background for SSL/TLS and X.509 certificates  in which there are commands and implementation descriptions to give you a hearty buzz for the rest of your life. Contents: Terminology Cryptographic Overview Symmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption Digests and Hashes Message Authentication code (MAC) Digital Signatures Terminology A non-exhaustive list of terms used in security. Many...

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=138 Overview If you have a private key, an SSL certificate, and a certificate bundle from a Certificate Authority (CA), you can use OpenSSL to create a certificate keystore that Tomcat can utilize. Requirements The following components are required to create a keystore for Tomcat: OpenSSL Private key with a .key file extension from CA SSL certificate file from CA Certificate bundle from CA Procedure Execute the following command to create a .p12 keystore bundle from the private key, SSL certificate, and certificate bundle: openssl pkcs12 - export - in mycert . crt - inkey mykey . key - out mycert . p12 - name tomcat - CAfile myCA . crt - caname root - chain Enter a password of “changeit” when prompted. Note: If a different password is used, it will need to be specified in the server.xml file. Once the .p12 keystore bundle is created, move it to the root of the Tomcat directory. Modify the server.xml fi...

Self-signing is the simpler route to take, but making one's own CA allows the signing of multiple server certificates using the same CA and involves only a few extra steps. After using openssl to generate the necessary files, you'll need to integrate them into Apache. This process differs between Linux distros and versions of Apache. Additional references exist at the en...
