RE: Setting up secure HTTP server

["Shota Gedenidze" <security () tub ge>]

Hi,


Use Apache httpd.apache.org
Ssl certs you can generate from OpenSSL package from www.openssl.org
User Authorisation can be done using apache's own auth method .htpasswd

OR

Create secured channels over internet using Stunnel www.stunnel.org
It's pretty good to ensure security of transferred data in it's tunnel.
And you'll avoid HTTPS on apache but you may need auth.

Visit that internet pages and you'll find detailed info.

Subject: Setting up secure HTTP server

All -

I'm looking for some good directions on setting up a "secure"
HTTP (not HTTPS) server.  Any particular suggestions of where
to hunt, since my googling has resulted in more answers than
minutes to even skip them all.

The purpose is to provide a server to permit sharing of
research data, and to provide web pages for our research group.

Thanks for any pointers/help you can offer.

Charley
