We're planning to build a secure apache web server. We have gone to apache.org and downloaded latest source software (httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz). Now what else should be needed in order to make a secure server (https). This is just for a development work and users inside intranet will use it for a specific purpose.
Can someone please suggest how to do this?
Thanks

Re: How to build a secure web server
Now when I try to access the web server, I get a message like
Authenticated by CN and test only certificate. Is this because i don't have a valid SSL certificate?
Thanks

Re: How to build a secure web server
it could be, but if you are make a self signed certificate it could be working.

Re: How to build a secure web server
If you're interested in security, you might want to have a procedure in place to keep the system more up-to-date. RHEL 4 Update 2 is at least a couple years old. It's now at Update 8...
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

Re: How to build a secure web server
this is where it all could go horribly wrong, it's easy to get a bug, coding error or even sloppy code on your secure web browser and then it's game over.
there are a lot of books on this topic and even some tools that can help test web based app security testing. might want to check some of those out as well.
