ISPConfig Self signed SSL Conflicting with Cloudflare SSL

    Hi,

    I have added my site on cloudflare using this gateway

    user > cloudflare flexible ssl > my website non ssl.

    But before that I removed my ISPConfig self signed SSL from that website, So I will be using http. But whenever I am trying to visit my website it comes up with my self signed ssl. So thats mean ssl still exists somewhere in ISPConfig and not removed even after turning off SSL option from website and deleting SSL certificate.

    Any suggestion to resolve this?. Will rebooting helps in this case?.

    ISPconfig have bugs on it's ssl option for website?. I removed SSL from a website by following...

    ISPconfig > Sites > Websites > SSL > Delete Certificate > Accept > Tick off SSL Option.

    I went back into SSL tab again and see no SSL cert. but its still showing my SSL... under that domain.

    My SSL was issued for name example.com

    and if I do ssl shopper check then I am still seeing that SSL active on that domain which made by ispconfig certificate creation within this domain. This is the error :

    It shows up that my domain still using another SSL which is not getting work with cloudflare SSL.

    Code:
    None of the common names in the certificate match the name that was entered (example.com). You may receive an error when accessing this site in a web browser.
    

    This is the test link: Here


    I did Apache restart but that doesn't help on restoring my site to non SSL.

    There are no known problems with ssl in the current version.

    Did you disable the ssl checkbox on the first tab of the website?
    Is there a vhost file with .err ending in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder?

    Yes I have SSL & SSI disabled for this website in: Sites > Websites > Domain

    [​IMG]

    There is no .err file within /etc/apache2/sites-available

    Ok, and does the vhost file of that site contains a ssl section?

    I have SSL on server vhost as I have setup openssl for server. and I am seeing no SSL section in site vhost.

    There is no ssl section in the site vhost that you posted. So ssl has been disabled correctly.

    The file ispconfig.vhost is not related at all, thats the ispconfig interface on port 8080 and not one of your websites.

    Yes I know but SSL Checker still seeing that I have an unkown SSL registered with name domain.com

    Code:
    None of the common names in the certificate match the name that was entered (domain.com). You may receive an error when accessing this site in a web browser.
    It is not supposed to show my domain name. It only shows when I have self signed SSL registered.

    And this is what a Self signed SSL do's

    Code:
    You may receive an error when accessing this site in a web browser

    You said that you configured a global ssl vhost outside of ispconfig, so this is most likeky causing your problems now.

    Actually I have SSL configured for my server interface in ispconfig.vhost. Is this global?. I thought it should be on interface at port 8080.

    So, I have SSL setup on this site server.1domain.com:8080 -> Self signed SSL working. and used same server name as full qualified domain when setting up by following howtoforge guide to make an openssl for interface.

    This above self signed SSL don't effect on this site if I visit https://domain3.com (SSL disable by default in site > websites. ) Status: Here

    But SSL effecting as self signed if I visit http://domain.com (SSL disable by default in site > websites ) Status: Here

    This both site under same vhost.


    How can I remove / check my Global SSL as you have mentioned?. So I can test if it is actually causing by global SSL or not. Because I haven't configured any global SSL outside of ispconfig.

    till Super Moderator Staff Member ISPConfig Developer

    No, thats not global. Like I explaed above, the ispconfig vhost is not related to your problem.

    The global ssl is the file default-ssl which is from your linux distribution and not ispconfig. If this file is enabled by a symlink in sites-available folder, then you have a global ssl vhost.

    the vhost has no ssl, as we checked already. So if both domains are aliases of the same vhost, then maybe cloudflare has cahched something? Or you have a typo in one of the domains or one of the domains points to a different server / ip address.

    Hi, Thanks but I am very noob and learning.

    My sites all under one single IPv4.

    I found this in default-ssl. And I think it looks like my global ssl is on as you said?. There is follow sysmlink , SSL Engine On and certificate to snakeoil which are un commented in that file. SO this might be our culprit which causing this.

    	#   SSL Protocol Adjustments:

    	#   approach you can use one of the following variables:
    	#   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
    	#     This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
    	#     SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received.  This violates
    	#     the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
    	#     this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
    	#     mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
    	#   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
    	#     This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
    	#     SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
    	#     alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
    	#     practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
    	#     this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
    	#     works correctly.
    	#   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
    	#   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
    	#   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
    	#   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
    	#   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
    	#   "force-response-1.0" for this.
    	BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
    		nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
    		downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
    	# MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive
    	BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

    What step should I take to disable SSL function from this /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl , so there is no global ssl from Apache But also at the same time it won't interfere with my ispconfig server interface ssl. Should I comment out certificate and SSL engine lines within default-ssl?.

    Thanks.

    the existence of the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl does not mean that it is used. like I pointed out above, you have to look into /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ to see if it is used or not.

    By the way... Few days back I applied Poodle SSL attack security on my vhost by following : http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-secure-your-ispconfig-3-server-against-the-poodle-ssl-attack


    By any chance this can cause this issue?.

    Because I have this changes in my Apache web server.
    Code:
    /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf
    Before:
    Code:
    # enable only secure protocols: SSLv3 and TLSv1, but not SSLv2
    SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
    Now:
    Code:
    # enable only secure protocols: but not SSLv2 and SSLv3
    SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3

    Thank you! :)
