通常我們在使用Apache時都是走http的協定,可是有的時候需要傳輸敏感的資料時候,使用http都是明文的傳輸協定,需要使用加密方式傳輸資料到後端,因此我們會使用https來作為此目的選擇。所以我們通常有兩種方式,第一種,自己簽一個,不過這種方式瀏覽器不認識,因此我們通常會走第二種方式:買憑證,購買憑證的意思是,把在Server上產生的csr送到可以產生具有公信的憑證中心,產生對應的root.crt和網域名稱的crt,兩個憑證檔案。網路上除了有需要購買憑證方式之外,例如像是COMODO,RapidSSL等,也有免費的憑證,一年一次申請,像是startSSL,沃通SSL等都是。接下來的步驟則是教導該如何產生一個有公信力的憑證,我們以沃通SSL為例。
第一步:註冊一個沃通帳號,下面是註冊網站
第二步:申請一個一年免費憑證,可以一直申請,不過只能維持一年。
第三步:填寫請求SSL憑證表單,如下圖,依照要求填寫網域名稱,憑證的語言,還有使用的演算法,有SHA1和SHA2可以選擇。如果沒登入下面會出現要求登入的欄位就像下面這張圖一樣。
可以選擇證書要使用英文還是簡體中文,以及憑證可以使用年限,可以選擇一年,二年以及三年。不過一年以上就需要付錢從1.99美金,三年要3.98美金,所以不想花錢就選一年吧XD
這邊以英文網站為主。
申請完成之後,就會出現一個需要貼上csr的地方,選擇自行貼上,這部份要從自己server上的Apache2產生出來。所以我們到server產生這個csr檔。這邊以Linux Ubuntu為例
連線到server,輸入下面指令產生private key。其中www.yourdomain-example.com這是自己的網域名稱,副檔名是key
[注意]產生出來的key會需要填passphrase,這個需要記住,日後產生csr還是要設定Apache都會需要用到。
openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.yourdomain-example.com.key 2048
第四步:要使用剛剛產生的private key產生一個csr檔,拿來送給憑證供應商,廠商會根據csr產生對應具有公信的憑證。其中www.yourdomain-example.com這是自己的網域名稱,副檔名是csr
產生csr需要注意,email address, challenge password or an optional company name上述這些都是留空白,不填。
輸入下面指令產生csr檔。
openssl req -new -key www.yourdomain-example.com.key -out www.yourdomain-example.com.csr
第五步:有需要的話,記得備份自己的private key,避免遺失,因為往後憑證都需要靠此來驗證,尤其是自己使用VPS或是實體server架設尤為重要,若是使用shared hosting虛擬主機,可以不必擔心,因為會儲存在cPanel上,當然也可以從上面下載回來。
第六步:接續第三步,把產生的csr檔貼到沃通,要選自己提交csr,點選下圖中的Submit CSR
接著會彈跳出一個視窗,有兩個選項,一個是快速產生,一個是自己手動貼上csr,我們自己有產生csr,因此選擇第二項,把剛剛產生的csr貼上去。按下送出
如果想要確定csr所使用的演算法,可以使用Check CSR按鈕,右邊會顯示相關的資訊。
第七步:送出之後,就會開始處理,並產生憑證檔案。會提示說明,下載之後此壓縮檔就會刪除,會彈跳一個視窗作提示,在這同時,也會發送一份信件到填寫的信箱中,裡面有相關發送憑證的資訊。
注意視窗,下載後,壓縮檔自動刪除。
信箱通知憑證
第八步:打開下載的壓縮檔,下面還有多個壓縮檔,裡面包含,不一樣的server壓縮檔,我們選擇我們需要的,我們需要for Apache.zip這個壓縮檔。
壓縮檔內有兩個檔案,第一個檔案root_bundle.crt是跟憑證,也就是CA憑證中心的檔案,第二個檔案是網域上的憑證。
依照這兩種區分方式,我們接著可以來設定000-default.conf設定檔。
在server設定檔上,如下圖所示,default-ssl.conf定義了https相關的設定。要把裡面內容編輯好之後貼到000-default.conf裡面
如果還沒有啟動SSL模組,則需要輸入下面指令來啟動。
sudo a2enmod ssl
000-default.conf大致上如下面編輯。(從<IfModule mod_ssl.c>這一行開始才是設定SSL地方)
<VirtualHost *:80> # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating # redirection URLs.

When you need a different shutdown # approach you can use one of the following variables: # o ssl-unclean-shutdown: # This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no # SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates # the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use # this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where # mod_ssl sends the close notify alert. # o ssl-accurate-shutdown: # This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a # SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify # alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in # practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use # this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation # works correctly. # Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP # keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable # keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this. # Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround # their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and # "force-response-1.0" for this. BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown </VirtualHost> </IfModule> # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
其中上面設定檔,找到這四行(65~68行)是重要的。
SSLCertificateFile指的是網域憑證,也就是for apache.zip中的第二個檔案,我重新命名成mywebservice_info_ee.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile是在產生csr檔之前所產生的private key檔。
SSLCACertificateFile指的是CA憑證中心根的憑證檔,或稱做網域憑證與憑證中心溝通的中介憑證,也就是for apache.zip檔中第一個檔案,root_bundle.crt,我重新命名成intermidiate_ca2015.crt
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl-certs/mywebservice_info_ee.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl-certs/mywebservice.info.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl-certs/intermidiate_ca2015.crt
完成之後,輸入下面指令重新啟動apache服務:
sudo service apache2 restart
接著會出現下圖:提是要輸入私鑰當初設定的passphrase,這裡一定要輸入正確,否則的話則無法啟動Apache服務。
接著去輸入網址,看看有沒有設定成功,如圖,設定成功了。
憑證相關資訊
點選憑證資訊
[後記]
無法啟動服務可能原因大致上有兩種:
1. 私鑰的passphrase輸入與私鑰定義的不同。
2. 設定憑證crt檔案對應錯誤,需檢查檔案是哪一種類型,是網域名稱憑證,還是中介憑證中心的crt檔等。
之後約有兩篇會討論如何使用cPanel管理SSL站點與安裝與設定付費憑證:COMODO基本防護憑證,這個設定會比Apache好設定,不過缺點是這侷限於有購買cPanel服務與使用共享主機(shared hosting)方案才有的服務了。
