An apachectl graceful should do the trick (without disturbing operation
too much).

In reference to making Apache reload the CRL are you sending a SIGHUP to do that or 
something else?

Re: CRL questions

2001-08-08 Thread Sylvain . Maret

Hello Ron,

As I Know there is no way to "learn" the new CRL file without making an Apache stop and start. But you should be able to make a RELOAD only. I used it in my Apache on Unix and it works quite well.

Maybe in the future Apache-ModSSL will support OCSP and it will solve this "problem".

        Subject:        CRL questions


Background:
I have a win32 installation of apache 1.3.12 w/ mod_ssl 2.6.1 running on a NT4
server.  I am using W2K CA to handle client certs.  This setup is special b/c apache 
runs as a part of the firewall service (Raptor 6.5) to enable secure access to a web 
based auth page.

Problem:
Users can connect to the site fine with their certs, however, problems exists 
setting up a CRL.  I want to update the CRL every couple of days, yet it requires
a restart of apache to re-read the CRL.  My problem lies in that this also requires
a restart of the firewall.  

Question:
Can someone verify my findings into the fact that apache must be restarted to 
load the updated CRL?  If this is the case then are there plans to allow 
updating/reloading of the CRL without reloading apache(e.g. CRL expiration period)?

Thanks in advance.
Ron
