Configure HTTPS, Mariadb Linux 2023 - Amazon EC2 AWS

Configure HTTPS, Mariadb Linux 2023 – Amazon EC2 AWS

Configure httpd, ssl, mariadb, phpMyAdmin – for a paid SSL certificate (Let’s Encrypt certbot is a separate article)

Please see the revised ssl.conf file at the end of the article

Again, you will have logged into a terminal shell as root. My examples use the vi editor.

When I do a terminal shell login, I type:
$ sudo su
# set -o vi
# export EXINIT=’set noautoindent’. –> I don’t like the editor indenting code my behalf.

When I refer to “vi” you may have another preferred editor. Do not cut and paste my comments in square brackets. Replace “Australia/Brisbane” with your own country/city. If a few things are not working, not only look at error messages, make use of forums, but reboot the instance at least once. (This is especially so if Let’s Encrypt is having issues.)

[We do not initiate httpd at this point, as the SSL certificate is not yet installed. Check with "systemctl stop httpd"]

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

[after Listen 80 add:]

KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 50
KeepAliveTimeout 5

[in the <Directory "/var/www/html"> section:]

AllowOverride All

[in the  section after it:]

[fix the ServerName to your domain:]

#ServerName www.example.com:80

[We do not use http/2 on our smaller instances]

LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
#LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

[append the following lines for performance:]

MaxRequestWorkers 125

[comment out "heartbeat" to stop constant error logging:]

vi /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-proxy.conf

# LoadModule lbmethod_heartbeat_module modules/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.so

[save and exit]

[ Add a new file, /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
Use your own static IP address (otherwise edit it every time you use phpMyAdmin for your dynamic address). Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP address. This lets you access the phpMyAdmin database GUI/interface from https://mydomain.au/phpMyAdmin. (It is possible to configure a generic login with no set IP address, but not recommended.)]

[Configure /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf. SEE REVISED FILE AT END OF THIS ARTICLE]

You should not log into phpMyAdmin or create WordPress until SSL is configured, or, use an EC2 Security Group only on your IP address – which is very slow. If using a Sectigo or other paid certificate, you have to learn about how it works, and then reference the .cert and .key files in ssl.conf file. A typical certificate is domain_au.crt and domain_au.key. The .crt in that case would contain the chaining content using your own editor. I use the Cleantalk website to generate the .crs and .key files for Comodo/Sectigo. You can re-use your .key file when renewing certificates. Remember, the DNS CAA records must be correct before a purchase of the SSL certificate (else a call to a help desk), and you have to have admin@domain.au verified and working in SES and an associated S3 Bucket or with your email service. If using SES the domain and email records must be verified and working. This is complex. While Route53 cannot make a .au registration for a citizen, you can still create a hosted zone without issue, having the .au domain somewhere else, like Ventraip, and the name servers on Amazon Route53. You can see how complexities add up. Keep in mind too that if you point a domain name to Amazon name servers and they do not fully propagate around the world, your registrar may have set up DNSSEC which blocks the records, so unset any DNSSEC.]

# ECC keys, when in use, can also be configured in parallel
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/laurenceshaw_au.key

# Server Certificate Chain:
# Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the
# concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the
# certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively
# the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile
# when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server
# certificate for convenience.

# Certificate Authority (CA):
# Set the CA certificate verification path where to find CA
# certificates for client authentication or alternatively one
# huge file containing all of them (file must be PEM encoded)
#SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

# Access Control:
# With SSLRequire you can do per-directory access control based
# on arbitrary complex boolean expressions containing server
# variable checks and other lookup directives. The syntax is a

# for more details.
#<Location />
#SSLRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)/ \

# and %{TIME_HOUR} >= 8 and %{TIME_HOUR} <= 20 ) \
# or %{REMOTE_ADDR} =~ m/^192\.76\.162\.[0-9]+$/
#</Location>

# SSL Engine Options:
# Set various options for the SSL engine.
# o FakeBasicAuth:
# Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation. This means that
# the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. The
# user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.
# Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
# file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
# o ExportCertData:
# This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
# SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the
# server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client
# authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates
# into CGI scripts.
# o StdEnvVars:
# This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.
# Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,
# because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually
# useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the
# exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
# o StrictRequire:
# This denies access when "SSLRequireSSL" or "SSLRequire" applied even
# under a "Satisfy any" situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied
# and no other module can change it.
# o OptRenegotiate:
# This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
# directives are used in per-directory context.

# SSL Protocol Adjustments:
# The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
# approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
# the close notify alert from client. 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 sent or allowed to be 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 sent 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.
