Re: Mac IE 5 ssl errors

2004-03-26 Thread Peter Burkholder
What's the underlying OS?

SSL Session caching just doesn't seem to work on older Linuxes is what I've
discovered, and falling back to SSL2 is one thing.

Another is the Mac IE is very picky and may crap out if a page includes
non-SSL content.

 Just noticed that Mac IE 5 is having problems with ssl connections to my

 error,' or it'll connect but graphics won't load on https pages, and I get
 this error in httpd error.log:
 
 [Fri Mar 26 12:05:06 2004] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake interrupted by
 system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] (System error follows)

 Found these changes to httpd.conf on searching the list, and implemented
 them, but to no avail. Anyone got a solution?
 
  
  I just solved it. Do not use an SSLProtocol line. Comment out the
  SetEnvIf line that does nokeepalive for MSIE. Use the following
  instead.
  
  BrowserMatch MSIE [1-4] nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
 downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
  BrowserMatch MSIE [5-9] ssl-unclean-shutdown
  
  I'm also using this cipher suite line, but the default might work, too:
  
  SSLCipherSuite 
  !EXP1024-RC4-SHA:!EXP1024-DES-CBC-SHA:ALL:!ADH:!EXP56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:
  +LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

I have httpd 2.0.48 built from source.  It's been running fine for weeks but
this morning it stopped responding to HTTPS although it kept going okay with
HTTP.  In the hopes that it would go away forever, I simply did an 
'httpd restart'.

A few hours later, Nagios told me that HTTPS connects were timing out again.
Damn.  Now I really do have a problem to fix.  I hope someone on the list
can help.

Packet tracing and ssldump indicate that clients are completing the TCP
handshake, but the server is mute after ClientHello:

After this the server sends an ACK,  then nothing.

I've changed the SSLSessionCache from shmht to dbm, but am I simply wishing
in the hopes that'll change anything?

Thanks,

Peter

2003-12-12 Thread Peter Burkholder
I returned to an issue I'd had some time ago with older MSIE 5.x browsers.
I seemed to have solved the problem by making sure that all content is now
being fetched over https.  Previously I'd had some CSS and javascript coming
over straight http, which might raise an error in newer browsers, but seems
to cause MSIE 5.0 and 5.2 to choke completely.

Does Ralf read these posts?  It may have been obvious to more seasoned SSL
users out there, but if the FAQ had included this line.

Older MSIE 5.x browsers may choke completely if trying to load pages that
are a mix of HTTP and HTTPS.  

I would have been saved much time and anguish.

Thanks,

Peter

 Where can I get cheap/reliable certs for a Apache that IE 5.5+ clients will
 authorize against?  Thawte and Verisign have outpriced themselves.
