[users@httpd] Apache SSL port question
I'm testing SSL (mod_ssl) on Apache 2.0.55 Win32. Some consultants that
conducted a security analysis suggested using ports other than the default
443 port for SSL. Is it possible to configure Apache to use a port other
than 443 for SSL and have the URL stay the same, that is, be able to use
https://www.somesite.org <https://www.somesite.org> instead of
https://www.somesite.org:1234 <https://www.somesite.org:1234> ? If so, are
there any real advantages to using a port other than 443? I have added
sample ssl.conf code below:
#
# This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support.
# It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to
# serve pages over an https connection. For detailing information about
these
# directives see <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html

Re: [users@httpd] Apache SSL port question
Posted by Emmanuel E <em...@gmx.net>.
and most http/s proxies would block outbound ssl connections to ports other
than 443. so if you ran your public secure webserver on a port other than
443 most people wouldnt be able to access it, unless u do the port
forwarding mapping suggested by Kishore, which is the same thing anyway.

The first thing is there is no obvious advantage of using a different port
for SSL, usually people tend to run standard services on non-standard ports
mainly to decieve/hide your Services (SSH, etc) from external network scans.
As an example some people tend to run their SSH on a different port than the
standard port 22, this makes sense as you could potentially hide the fact
that you have are allowing external ssh logins , in a way deceiving the
hacker that you are not running ssh ( this assumption takes into
consideration that the intitial scanning is more automated than manual)
But if you are running a service over the web (hhtp or ssl), you are just
saying "Hey people come into my network !!!!" , you are not trying to hide
anything..
Coming to your question

For this to happen you need some kind of forwardinf/mapping on your firewall
(I am not sure if one can do that), essentially saying if i get a request
for an <IP> on port 443, then forward that connection to a different port
(1234)...
The other option would be to run a proxy ssl server, which would take all
the client requests on port 443, and forward them to a different server on
port 1234 , but even in this case you would have to open up port 443 on your
firewall ...
All in all if you do by your consultant and decide on running your ssl on a
different port its better that you hardcode the full URL into your apps like
https://www.somesite.org:1234 , or try one of the methods I suggested ...

For this to happen you need some kind of forwardinf/mapping on your firewall
(I am not sure if one can do that), essentially saying if i get a request
for an <IP> on port 443, then forward that connection to a different port
(1234)...
The other option would be to run a proxy ssl server, which would take all
the client requests on port 443, and forward them to a different server on
port 1234 , but even in this case you would have to open up port 443 on your
firewall ...
All in all if you do by your consultant and decide on running your ssl on a
different port its better that you hardcode the full URL into your apps like
https://www.somesite.org:1234 , or try one of the methods I suggested ...

Re: [users@httpd] Apache SSL port question
Posted by Bernie Durfee <be...@suny.edu>.
Gary,
In general, the client, normally a web browser, knows that https is done over port 443. So most browsers will go to port
443 automatically when the URL begins with https. There is really no way to 'trick' the browser from the server-side. I
assume that the idea of moving the HTTPS listener to another, non-standard, port is for security by obfuscation. Which
is never really worth the trouble, especially in this case, it just wouldn't make sense. In fact I would be worried if
this was suggested to me by paid consultants.
