_________________________________________________________________
+ Chained Certificates:
+
+ There is increasing interest in using chained CA's instead of a single
+ CA. The merits of using chained CA's are not described here besides to
+ say its use may make some things easier when a certificate needs to be
+ revoked.
+
+ x11vnc supports chained CA certificates. We describe a basic use case
+ here.
+
+ Background: Of course the most straight forward way to use SSL with
+ x11vnc is to use no CA at all (see above): a self-signed certificate
+ and key is used and its certificate needs to be safely copied to the
+ client side. This is basically the same as the SSH style of managing
+ keys. Next level up, one can use a single CA to sign server keys: then
+ only the CA's certificate needs to be safely copied to the client
+ side, this can happen even before any server certs are created (again,
+ see all of the discussion above.)
+
+ With a certificate chain there are two or more CA's involved. Perhaps
+ it looks like this:
+ root_CA ---> intermediate_CA ---> server_cert
+
+ Where the arrow basically means "signs".
+
+ In this usage mode the client (viewer-side) will have root_CA's
+ certificate available for verifying (and nothing else.) If the viewer
+ only received server_cert's certificate, it would not have enough info
+ to verify the server. The client needs to have intermediate_CA's cert
+ as well. The way to do this with x11vnc (i.e. an OpenSSL using app) is
+ to concatenate the server_cert's pem and the intermediate_CA's
+ certificate together.
+
+ For example, suppose the file intermediate_CA.crt had
+ intermediate_CA's certificate. And suppose the file server_cert.pem
+ had the server's certificate and private key pair as described above
+ on this page. We need to do this:
+ cat intermediate_CA.crt >> server_cert.pem
+
+ (Note: the order of the items inside the file matters; intermediate_CA
+ must be after the server key and cert) and then we run x11vnc like
+ this:
+ x11vnc -ssl ./server_cert.pem ...
+
+ Then, on the VNC viewer client side, the viewer authenticates the
+ x11vnc server by using root_CA's certificate. Suppose that is in a
+ file named root_CA.crt, then using the SSVNC wrapper script
+ [33]ss_vncviewer (which is also included in the [34]SSVNC package) as
+ our example, we have:
+ ss_vncviewer -verify ./root_CA.crt hostname:0
+
+ (where "hostname" is the machine where x11vnc is running.) One could
+ also use the SSVNC GUI setting Certs -> ServerCert to the root_CA.crt
+ file. Any other SSL enabled VNC viewer would use root_CA.crt in a
+ similar way.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+ Creating Chained Certificates:
+
+ Here is a fun example using VeriSign's "Trial Certificate" program.
+ Note that VeriSign has a Root CA and also an Intermediate CA and uses
+ the latter to sign customers certificates. So this provides an easy
+ way to test out the chained certificates mechanism with x11vnc.
+
+ First we created a test x11vnc server key:
+ openssl genrsa -out V1.key 1024
+
+ then we created a certificate signing request (CSR) for it:
+ openssl req -new -key V1.key -out V1.csr
+
+ (we followed the prompts and supplied information for the various
+ fields.)
+
+ Then we went to VeriSign's page http://www.verisign.com/ssl/index.html
+ and clicked on "FREE TRIAL" (the certificate is good for 14 days.) We
+ filled in the forms and got to the point where it asked for the CSR
+ and so we pasted in the contents of the above V1.csr file. Then, after
+ a few more steps, VeriSign signed and emailed us our certificate.
+
+ The VeriSign Trial certificates were found here:
+ http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/Trial_Secure_Server_
+Root/index.html
+ http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/trial-secure-server-
+intermediate/index.html
+
+ The former was pasted into a file V-Root.crt and the latter was pasted
+ into V-Intermediate.crt
+
+ We pasted our Trial certificate that VeriSign signed and emailed to us
+ into a file named V1.crt and then we typed:
+ cat V1.key V1.crt > V1.pem
+ cat V1.pem V-Intermediate.crt > V1-combined.pem
+ chmod 600 V1.pem V1-combined.pem
+
+ So now the file V1-combined.pem has our private key and (VeriSign
+ signed) certificate and VeriSign's Trial Intermediate certificate.
+
+ Next, we start x11vnc:
+ x11vnc -ssl ./V1-combined.pem ...
+
+ and finally, on the viewer side (SSVNC wrapper script example):
+ ss_vncviewer -verify ./V-Root.crt hostname:0
+
+ One will find that only that combination of certs and keys will work,
+ i.e. allow the SSL connection to be established. Every other
+ combination we tried failed (note that ss_vncviewer uses the external
+ stunnel command to handle the SSL so we are really testing stunnel's
+ SSL implementation on the viewer side); and so the system works as
+ expected.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+ VNC Client Authentication using Certificate Chains:
+
+ Now, going the other way around with the client authenticating himself
+ via this chain of SSL certificates, x11vnc is run this way:
+ x11vnc -ssl SAVE -sslverify ./V-Root.crt ...
+
+ (note since the server must always supply a cert, we use its normal
+ self-signed, etc., one via "-ssl SAVE" and use the VeriSign root cert
+ for client authentication via [35]-sslverify. The viewer must now
+ supply the combined certificates, e.g.:
+ ss_vncviewer -mycert ./V1-combined.pem hostname:0
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+ Using OpenSSL and x11vnc to create Certificate Chains:
+
+ Although the x11vnc CA mechanism (-sslGenCA and -sslGenCert; see
+ above) was designed to only handle a single root CA (to sign server
+ and/or client certs) it can be coerced into creating a certificate
+ chain by way of an extra openssl(1) command.
+
+ We will first create two CA's via -sslGenCA; then use one of these CA
+ to sign the other; create a new (non-CA) server cert; and append the
+ intermediate CA's cert to the server cert to have everything needed in
+ the one file.
+
+ Here are the commands we ran to do what the previous paragraph
+ outlines.
+
+ First we create the two CA's, called CA_root and CA_Intermediate here,
+ in separate directories via x11vnc:
+ x11vnc -ssldir ~/CA_Root -sslGenCA
+ (follow the prompts, we included "CA_Root", e.g. Common Name, to aid ident
+ifying it)
+
+ x11vnc -ssldir ~/CA_Intermediate -sslGenCA
+ (follow the prompts, we included "CA_Intermediate", e.g. Common Name, to a
+id identifying it)
+
+ Next backup CA_Intermediate's cert and then sign it with CA_Root:
+ mv ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/cacert.pem ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/cacert.pem.ORIG
+ cd ~/CA_Root
+ openssl ca -config ./CA/ssl.cnf -policy policy_anything -extensions v3_ca -no
+text -ss_cert ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/cacert.pem.ORIG -out ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/ca
+cert.pem
+
+ Note that it is required to cd to the ~/CA_Root directory and run the
+ openssl command from there.
+
+ You can print out info about the cert you just modified by:
+ openssl x509 -noout -text -in ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/cacert.pem
+
+ Now we create an x11vnc server cert named "test_chain" that is signed
+ by CA_Intermediate:
+ x11vnc -ssldir ~/CA_Intermediate -sslGenCert server test_chain
+ (follow the prompts)
+
+ You can print out information about this server cert just created via
+ this command:
+ x11vnc -ssldir ~/CA_Intermediate -sslCertInfo SAVE-test_chain
+
+ This will tell you the full path to the server certificate, which is
+ needed because we need to manually append the CA_Intermediate cert for
+ the chain to work:
+ cat ~/CA_Intermediate/CA/cacert.pem >> ~/CA_Intermediate/server-test_chain.pe
+m
+
+ Now we are finally ready to use it. We can run x11vnc using this
+ server cert+key by either this command:
+ x11vnc -ssldir ~/CA_Intermediate -ssl SAVE-test_chain ...
+
+ or this command:
+ x11vnc -ssl ~/CA_Intermediate/server-test_chain.pem ...
+
+ since they are equivalent (both load the same pem file.)
+
+ Finally we connect via VNC viewer that uses CA_Root to verify the
+ server. As before we use ss_vncviewer:
+ ss_vncviewer -verify ~/CA_Root/CA/cacert.pem hostname:0
+
+ Client Certificates (see above) work in a similar manner.
+
+ So although it is a little awkward with the extra steps (e.g.
+ appending the CA_Intermediate cert) it is possible. If you want to do
+ this entirely with openssl(1) you will have to learn the openssl
+ commands corresponding to -genCA and -genCert. You may be able to find
+ guides on the Internet to do this. Starting with x11vnc 0.9.10, you
+ can have it print out the wrapper scripts it uses via: [36]-sslScripts
+ (you will still need to fill in a few pieces of information; ask if it
+ is not clear from the source code.)
