Re: Apache http ssl certificate - export

Do you know what postman is?
It’s a client. This usage was mentioned in my first post.
If you don’t know what that is I can see you being confused as well.

So again in summary..
I generate the cert on the i (server)with DCM. Export that cert in form of a .pfx to the ifs/pc. Then only the client that receives the .pfx can connect to my server.

That's a client cert. Yes, you can require that. Yes, that is correct.
That's different than the server cert.
Which I thought we were talking about!

“Required” below sounds like you can use a certificate for authorization
to me. And it demonstrated the same when I tested it. I’m going to have to
go with this... unless you can tell me how someone can work around it.

SslClientAuth

Values:
0/None: No client certificate requested.
1/Optional: Client certificate requested, but not required.
2/Required: Valid client certificate required.

Well... in my Apache server config...

When I changed...

sslClientAuth from optional to required, it only allows me to connect

with the certificate applied (.pfx file)

Why is that?

Btw, this certificate generated by the DCM contains both the cert and a

key. As well as a password. It’s a .pfx file.

certificate on steroids?

awwwwwwwwwww .... :)

which ONLY allows those I give this certificate to to pass into my

apache

http server...
and in my eyes, this creates a form of authentication/authorization...

no?

NO. The server cert is ONLY an ASSERTION OF IDENTITY. If a bad player

wants

to IGNORE it or ACCEPT IT WITHOUT PROOF they are FREE TO DO SO.

*No server protection at all is provided by the server cert!*

It's a way of protecting the CLIENT and assuring them that they are

really

talking to the system they think they have connected to!
