Configuring Samba with SSL Contents: About Certificates Requirements Installing SSLeay Setting Up SSL Proxy SSL Configuration Options This appendix describes how to set up Samba to use secure connections between the Samba server and its clients. The protocol used here is Netscape s Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). For this example, we will establish a secure connection between a Samba server and a Windows NT workstation. Before we begin, we will assume that you are familiar with the fundamentals of public-key cryptography and X.509 certificates. If not, we highly recommend Bruce Schneier s Applied Cryptography, 2nd Edition (Wiley) as the premiere source for learning the many secret faces of cryptography. If you would like more information on Samba and SSL, be sure to look at the document SSLeay.txt in the docs/textdocs directory of the Samba distribution, which is the basis for this appendix. A.1 About Certificates Here are a few quick questions and answers from the SSLeay.txt file in the Samba documentation, regarding the benefits of SSL and certificates. This text was written by Christian Starkjohann for the Samba projects. 330
