Enabling Client Certificate Authentication

  1. Go to the following directory: cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/.

  2. For the required host in nano openxpki.conf, add SSLVerifyClient require.

    For example, if you are using port 443, modify the VirtualHost section to:

    <VirtualHost *:443> SSLVerifyClient require </VirtualHost>
  3. Remove the SSLVerifyClient optional_no_ca command.

  4. Save the file, and then type quit to exit from MySQL.

  5. Go to the following directory: cd /etc/openxpki/config.d/realm/democa/est.

  6. Open default.yaml and democa.yaml.

    Note:  If the label is different, then change the YAML file.

  7. Run the following command:

    • vi default.yaml
  8. In the authorized_signer section, add the following:

    authorized_signer: rule2: 			subject: CN=,.

    For example, if your client certificate subject name is test123, then add the following in the authorized_signer section:

    authorized_signer: rule1: 		# Full DN	 		subject: CN=.+:pkiclient,. rule2:	 		subject: CN=test123,.*
  9. Save the file, and then type quit to exit MySQL.

  10. Restart the OpenXPKI service using openxpkictl restart.

  11. Restart the Apache service using service apache2 restart.
