Hello list/forum I'm new with openssl so please be gentle. I'm hoping that my problem is small, and may have a simple answer/s. Being new to ssl terminology, it is hard for me to know what and where to search for clues.
I'm understanding the basic concepts of certificates, and have my test server working fine with "normal" ssl setup. Hopefully this keeps the connections "secure". I need to give maybe ~20 users secure remote access to a small server. http/s only. No ssh, ftp, etc. I can use openvpn to achieve the desired result, but wondering whether I can do it more simply (better) with openssl. Is it possible to "manually issue" self-signed certificates (by sneakernet or CD or flaccid diskette) to those ~20 users, and configure openssl so that only those folks have access? Nobody else to have any access. (And when a person leaves, cancel their access too.) I have found this HOWTO that seems close to the mark. http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/security/investigator/archives/howto-securing-a-website-with-client-ssl-certificates-11500 Any other tips or clues ? Can this be done, securely ? Is there any other info out there in the dataspehere that might help ? Any special or relevant words that I should use to search for help about this ?
