XAMPP: SSL Encrypt the Transmission of

Passwords with https
Rob July 15th, 2007

This article is part of a series of articles about making XAMPP more secure. See the overview page for all the
security measures.

If you don’t have encryption enabled on a password protected folder, the password will be sent in cleartext -
meaning that it can be seen by anyone using a network sniffer. It is a good idea to encrypt the transmission of
these passwords. There are 2 steps to this process, first we need to create SSL certificates, and then we need to
make sure that the password protected pages are only accessed with encryption. It’s also a good idea to import
your certificates into any browsers on all machines that you plan to use to access your server, otherwise you’ll
get a warning about an untrusted certificate authority.

Create SSL Certificate and Server Private Key

In order to enable the encryption of your password, you must create an SSL certificiate (containing your public
key) and a server private key. XAMPP provides a default certificate/key that can be used, but it is better to
create a new one since the default key is available to anyone who downloads XAMPP. If someone knows your
key, they can decrypt your packets.

XAMPP provides a batch file for creating a new certificate/key with random encryption keys. To execute this
batch file, do the following:

1. Open a command window (Start->Run, type “cmd” and press “OK)

2. cd c:\xampp\apache
3. makecert

You will then see this:

C:\xampp\apache>newcert
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
............................++++++
.....................................++++++
writing new private key to 'privkey.pem'
Enter PEM pass phrase:

Enter in a pass phrase for decrypting your private server key, and press Enter. Write down this passphrase so
you don’t forget it. Now you will be asked to verify it:
Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase:

Enter your passphrase a second time and hit Enter. Now, you’ll see this:
-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank

http://robsnotebook.com/xampp-ssl-encrypt-passwords 15/10/2010
XAMPP: SSL Encrypt the Transmission of Passwords with https Page 2 of 15

For some fields there will be a default value,

If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:

Enter in your 2 letter country code. You’ll be asked for a few more items (shown below). Enter is what you
think is most appropriate, but stop when you are asked for “Common Name”
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:NY
Locality Name (eg, city) []:New York
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Rob's Great Company
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:

For “Common Name”, you need to enter in the DNS name or IP address of your website. The name that you
enter in here will need to match the server name that is entered into the browser that is accessing the page. It is
important that this common name match the address that goes into a browser, otherwise you will get
extra warnings when navigating to your secure web pages. If you are running this website over the public
internet on an IP address that changes sometimes, you can use a Dynamic DNS service such as dyndns.org to
get a free domain name that always points to your server. After you enter in the “Common Name”, you are
asked for more information. Fill in what you think is appropriate, but it is OK to just hit ENTER to accept the
defaults. Eventually, you will be asked for the pass phrase for privkey.pem:
Email Address []:

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes

to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:
Enter pass phrase for privkey.pem:

Enter the pass phrase that you created earlier, and now you will see this:
writing RSA key
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Signature ok
subject=/C=xx/ST=xx/L=xxxx/O=xxx/CN=commonname
Getting Private key

—–
Das Zertifikat wurde erstellt.
The certificate was provided.

Press any key to continue . . .

C:\xampp\apache>

You are now finished creating your SSL certificate and private key. The makecert.bat script will move your
server private key and certificates in the appropriate directories for you.

Import the certificate into the browser for each client

Since this certificate is self signed, and is not signed by a well known Certificate Authority (CA), when you
browse to the protected pages you’ll get a warning. To turn off this warning, the certificate should be imported
as a trusted CA into any browsers that you will use to access your server.

Importing the certificate into IE 7

Here are the steps to import the certificate into IE 7:

Tools->Internet Options
Content Tab->Certificates Button
Trusted Root Certification Authorities Tab->Import Button

Now you’ll see the “Certificate Import Wizard”

Click Next

http://robsnotebook.com/xampp-ssl-encrypt-passwords 15/10/2010
XAMPP: SSL Encrypt the Transmission of Passwords with https Page 3 of 15

Provide file name: c:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt\server.crt

Click Next
Leave default to Place all Certificates in Certificate store: Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and click Next
Click Finish

Importing the certificate into Firefox 2:

Here are the steps to import the certificate into Firefox 2:

Tools->Options
Advanced->Encryption Tab->View Certificates Button
Authorities Tab->Import Button
Select file: c:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt\server.crt, and click “Open”
Check “Trust this CA to identify web sites”
Click “OK’
Click “OK” in Certificate manager
Click “OK” In original Options window to get back into Firefox

Edit Apache config for encryption only access to password protected

folders.
Now we will instruct Apache to access the password protected folders with SSL encryption exclusively. This is
done in 2 steps. First, we setup the Apache config files for these folders to say they can only be accessed with
SSL encryption. Next, we redirect any “http” traffic to these pages to “https” (this is optional).

Make folders accessible with SSL encryption only

First, we need to inform Apache that the folders you want to encrypt should use always use encryption (and
never go in the clear). This is accomplished by putting an SSLRequireSSL directive inside of each desired
<Directory> listing in the config files (it is ok to put it at the end, just before the </Directory>). The red text
below shows what to do.
Alias /web_folder_name “C:/xampp/foldername”
<Directory “C:/xampp/foldername“>
…
…
SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>

I suggest doing this for the following folders (if you still have them):

• Config File: c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

◦ c:\xampp\phpmyadmin
◦ c:\xampp\htdocs\xampp
◦ c:\xampp\webalizer
◦ c:\xampp\security\htdocs
• Config File: c:\xampp\webdav
◦ c:\xampp\webdav

Redirect “http” to “https” for certain folders

This next optional step is to redirect “http” requests to “https” requests for the pages we want to secure. This is
more user friendly and allows you to still use http when you type in the address (and automatically switch to
https:// and encryption). If you don’t do this, and you used SSLRequireSSL, you will only be able to access
these pages by typing https://. This is fine and probably a little bit more secure, but is not so user friendly. To
accomplish the redirection, we will use mod_rewrite so that we don’t have to use the server name in this part of
the config file. This helps keep small the number of places in the config files where the server name is written
(making your config files more maintainable).

First, we need to make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled. To do this, edit c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and
get rid of the comment (# character) in this line:

http://robsnotebook.com/xampp-ssl-encrypt-passwords 15/10/2010
XAMPP: SSL Encrypt the Transmission of Passwords with https Page 4 of 15

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to make it look like this:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Now, paste the following text into the top of c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# Redirect /xampp folder to https

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} xampp
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

# Redirect /phpMyAdmin folder to https

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} phpmyadmin
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

# Redirect /security folder to https

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} security
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

# Redirect /webalizer folder to https

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} webalizer
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

If you have other folders you want to redirect to https://, add the generic text below (but substitute your folder
name):
# Redirect /folder_name folder to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder_name
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

If you are going to host a webdav server, it is probably best to not have this redirection and to just require
https://. This way, people can only use https:// when addressing your webdav folder. I tried using redirection for
a webdav server and giving http:// in both XP and MAC OS X, and it didn’t work when encryption is required.

One thing to keep in mind with this redirection is that if you have virtual hosts, you need to place the redirection
code (with the RewriteCond and RewriteRule) inside of your virtual host declarations, otherwise the redirection
won’t work.

I am under your spell!

Doing technical documentation myself for over 20 years, I have an eye for errors or docs that tend to over
explain. Not true here!!!!
You obviously know the topic above and beyond any other resource I have been able to find on the net.
Being a Windows whore for many years, I’m slowly making the leap to Apache in hopes of hosting my
own domain.

You’re doing the work for me and at the same time, demonstrating in a way that makes it stick in my
head.

All I can say is WOW and Thanks a million times for your efforts.

how to fix it. I’m currently using XAMPP-win32 version 1.6.8 & my problem is that after running the
makecert command I’m unable to type anything when requested for the pass phrase & as a result I can’t
proceed. Can anyone help me out with this?

I don’t get which pass phrase gets revealed to others and which stays private?? I don’t understand! all I
want is for https:// to work why do they make it so difficult? Where is config file? Where do I add this
stuff? When I follow directions it doesn’t work then I go to my site and it says forbidden!

“One thing to keep in mind with this redirection is that if you have virtual hosts, you need to place the

otherwise the redirection won’t work.”
How can I place the redirection code in my host declaration? Where is my host declaration? Because my

23. Nevenon 12 Mar 2009 at 11:31 am

Hello!
First, i’d like to thank the author for this article, it’s absolutely great and helpful.

But i have one question regarding to SSL Certificates.

Does anybody know how to automatically install certificate from server, so i don’t need to manualy
import it on every browser?
For example, i am building Adobe Flex application, and i am not getting any warrnings for untrusted
certificate authority.. ofcourse, my application doesn’t work without imported certificate in used browser.

I appreciate any help.

24. faardeenon 18 Mar 2009 at 10:34 am

its not working for me

http://robsnotebook.com/xampp-ssl-encrypt-passwords 15/10/2010
XAMPP: SSL Encrypt the Transmission of Passwords with https Page 7 of 15

the error is as below:

Secure Connection Failed

localhost uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

The certificate expired on 12/4/2006 7:11 AM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

* This could be a problem with the server’s configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate
the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can
try again later.

Or you can add an exception…

“Well, I have solved the above problem just after posting the thread !

The indication was in “Tue Dec 11 12:02:55 2007] [error] [client 10.96.10.10] client denied by server

I did not know that SSL needs separate DocumentRoot setting in httpd-ssl.conf ! When I change it

Hello everybody, I am setting up a development environment using XAMPP 1.7.3 on Windows 7 for my

same to IE and Firefox. The CA and Server certificates are working fine. The problem is when I activate
the client certificates:

I get the following error messages:

Ok for all of you that were getting blank pages, remember that you are moving from http to https and
therefore are moving from port 80 to port 443 if you are doing this on a home server make sure you port
forward all requests on port 443 to your server or your routers firewall will block it. Oh you’ll also have
to open a port on the windows firewall if you are even using it. Hope this helped someone out there.
