Security Services Implemented Within Oracle HTTP Server

Oracle HTTP Server Administrator’s Guide

SSLEngine

Toggles the usage of the SSL Protocol Engine. This is usually used

inside a <VirtualHost> section to enable SSL for a particular virtual host. By
default, the SSL Protocol Engine is disabled for both the main server and all
configured virtual hosts.

Example 8–8

Using SSL Engine Directive

<VirtualHost_dafault_:4443>

SSLEngine on

...

</VirtualHost>

SSLLog

Specifies where the SSL engine log file will be written. (Error messages

will also be duplicated to the standard Oracle HTTP Server log file specified by the

ErrorLog

directive.)

Place this file at a location where only root can write, so that it cannot be used for
symlink attacks. If the filename does not begin with a slash (/), it is assumed to be
relative to the

ServerRoot

. If the filename begins with a bar (|), then the string

following the bar is expected to be a path to an executable program to which a
reliable pipe can be established.

This directive should occur only once for each virtual server configuration.
