$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.4 2002/11/19 23:03:53 jlam Exp $
Update ap-ssl to 2.6.6. Important fixes for memory leaks and segfaults. Also make me the maintainer. Relevant changes from version 2.6.3: -) Install ${sbindir}/mkcert.sh to ease generation of SSL certificates. *) Fixed server restarts: Under non-DSO run-time situation, the OpenSSL library was shutdown (and never re-initialized) and this way caused segfaults on server restarts. This affected only installations where mod_ssl+OpenSSL were built as a static module instead of a DSO. This nasty bug was unfortunately introduced in 2.6.5 as a side-effect of an (otherwise correct) memory leak bugfix. *) Various typo fixes in user manual. *) Removed more memory leaks by freeing even more stuff from the OpenSSL toolkit on module shutdown. *) Added missing TLSv1, EXP40 and EXP56 keywords to ssl_reference's documentation of SSLCipherSuite. *) Added hints about MSIE workarounds (-SSLv3, !EXP56, etc.) to the FAQ entry about MSIE errors. *) Added !EXP56 to pre-configured SSLCipherSuite in order to avoid MSIE5.x problems in advance. *) Allow spaces in ServerRoot and SSLPassPhraseDialog arguments which is especially important for the Win32 environment. *) Fixed syntax errors in ssl_howto.wml: "Deny all" -> "Deny from all" *) Removed a left-over ssl_scache_expire() call in ssl_scache_init() which made the life of vendors complicated. *) Allow more fine-tuned overriding of ap_server_root_relative calls by providing the context of the call. *) Added Equifax Secure CA certificates to ca-bundle.crt. *) Let the pass phrase dialog force the prompt to occur only once (no verification step), because mod_ssl uses the dialog only for pass phrases which are required for reading private keys. This as a side-effect should fix a problem under Win32 where a second prompt occured for unknown reasons. *) Added more compatibility to Stronghold v2's SSL_SessionCache. *) Added two more EAPI hools under SSL_VENDOR: one for overriding ap_server_root_relative calls and one for hooking into the server configuration step. *) Fixed SSL display for mod_status in `short report' situation. *) Fixed memory leak caused by not-freed SSL_CTX in the HTTPS proxy support (ssl_engine_ext.c/mod_proxy) under _NOT_ SSL_EXPERIMENTAL.

You will need to generate certificates and keys for your server before
Apache will start with mod_ssl support. Please read

for more information on how to do this.
The SSL-specific configuration parts of the default httpd.conf are
bracketed by:
<IfDefine SSL>
</IfDefine>
In order to start Apache with mod_ssl support, you need to run Apache
with "apachectl startssl" instead of "apachectl start". This may be done
by adding:
apache=YES
apache_start="startssl"
to /etc/rc.conf.
