[users@httpd] SSL problems on sun
I am trying to get openssl/mod_ssl running on an apache server on a sun box.
Apache works fine, and starts up without ssl with no issues. I try to enable
ssl, and call a cert within the conf file and receive the following error in
the logfile:
[Tue Oct 14 14:43:42 2003] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate
temporary 512 bit RSA private key (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Oct 14 14:43:42 2003] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
[Tue Oct 14 14:43:42 2003] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa
routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib
Interestingly enough we have egd running, so I am not sure why openssl is
barking about prng .. Is this configurable?
What is actually causing this error? Is it the lack of entropy? How can I
fix the errors as stated above?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Posted by Saqib Ali <sa...@seagate.com>.
if you are using Apache 2.0 check the SSLRandomSeed directive in the
ssl.conf file.
also make sure you have /dev/random , otherwise there is a path available
from Sun.
