This is the kind of line I have in my crontab:
02 00 * * * /a/b/taskforest --config_file=/b/c/taskforest.cfg
Please make sure you read the section entitled "Web Server Security" for important security considerations.
Having said that, : The userids and passwords are specified in the
configuration
file using the same format as Apache's .htpasswd files. You can
see commented-out
examples of this in the configuration
file taskforestd.cfg. For
your convenience, the TaskForest distribution includes a program
called gen_passwd
that generates text that you can copy
and paste into the config file:
gen_passwd foo bar
The above command will print out somthing that looks like the following;
foo:4poVZGiAlO1BY
This text can then be copied and pasted into the configuration file.
Make sure you stop the server and restart it after making any changes to the configuration file.
To start the web server, run the taskforestd program with
the --config_file
and --start
options. For
example:
taskforestd --config_file=taskforestd.cfg --stop
OR
taskforestdssl --config_file=taskforestd.cfg --stop
To stop the web server, run the taskforestd
program
with the --config_file
and --stop
options. For example:
taskforestd --config_file=taskforestd.cfg --stop
OR
taskforestdssl --config_file=taskforestd.cfg --stop
This is what works for me (instructions found at http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC25 ).
1) Create a server key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key.en 1024
2) Make a decrypted version of it
openssl rsa -in server.key.en -out server-key.pem
3) Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
openssl req -new -key server-key.pem -out server.csr
4) Create a CA Private Key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key.en 1024
5) Create a decrypted version of it
openssl rsa -in ca.key.en -out ca.key
6) Create a 10-yr self-signed CA cert with the CA key
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out my-ca.pem
7) Sign the CSR
sign.sh server.csr
The sign.sh program can be found in the
pkg.contrib/ subdirectory of the mod_ssl
distribution. It is not clear whether or not I
can include that script in this distribution,
so for now at least, you'll have to use your
own copy. Make sure you specify the locations
of the files in the taskforestd configuration
file.
