1: Install of SSL
Posted by Luis Garcia on 05/02/02 06:54 PM
Hi,

I have a Intel machine with SuSe 8 as OS. I was able to install
OpenACS 4.5 with no major problems. It runs just fine. Now, I need to
set up the SSL server. How do I do that if I have already compiled
and set up everything.

Thanks.

Try this: http://www.scottg.net/webtools/aolserver/modules/nsopenssl/

I think someone here posted a guide on how to create a SSL certificate. There is a guide on openssl.org. My notes are at home, but I can post them if you can't find any documentation on how to create the certificate.

You can also try the install guide Arjun put together:

http://openforce.biz/library/doc/openacs/quick-nsopenssl-guide.adp

We have some more detailed stuff about OpenSSL integration with client certs and all. We're putting the final touches on it and I'll post it as soon as it's ready.

I just checked out OpenForce's quick install guide...

It says: Install or upgrade to the correct version of OpenSSL (0.9.6 as of 28 Dec 2000)...

I have openssl-0.9.5a-7.6.x openssl-devel-0.9.5a-7.6.x (rpms for RH 6.2) installed which are from Wed 11 Jul 2001 though...

When I compiled the nsopenssl source I got the following error:

thread.c:42: #error "OpenSSL was not compiled with thread support!"

David: I haven't looked at nsopenssl in a long time, so my instructions might be out of date. But I just checked, and I get the same error on a RedHat 6.2 box with fresh nsopenssl-2.1 source, aolserver 3.4.2 source, and a venerable copy of openSSL (0.9.5a). Anyone else get this error? I dont have the time to look deeper into this, but maybe Scottg or others could help?
