Overview

This page describes the SSL configuration used by PKI. The SSL configuration is stored in /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/server.xml as part of Tomcat JSS configuration.

Default SSL Configuration

By default PKI will use the following SSL configuration.

General configuration

  • Strict ciphers: true
  • Client certificate authentication: want
  • server cert nickname file: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/serverCertNick.conf
  • password file: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/password.conf
  • password class: org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jss.PlainPasswordFile
  • NSS database: /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias

OCSP

  • OCSP: enabled
  • OCSP responder URL: http://$HOSTNAME:9080/ca/ocsp
  • OCSP responder certificate: ocspSigningCert cert-pki-ca
  • Cache size: 1000
  • Minimum cache entry duration: 60 seconds
  • Maximum cache entry duration: 120 seconds
  • Timeout: 10 seconds

SSL options

  • SSL2: disabled

FIPS SSL Configuration

See FIPS SSL Configuration.

Customizing SSL Configuration

During Installation

During installation the installer will use the default SSL configuration. Under certain circumstances (e.g. in FIPS mode) the default SSL configuration may not work. To customize the SSL configuration during installation use the two-step installation:

After Installation

After installation the SSL settings can be customized directly in /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/server.xml.
