Re: SSL Bump and dynamic SSL generation

Dan,

Our browsers have very few and selected trusted CAs which are also
stored in our Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Install an
internal root CA by Microsoft Certificate Services and generate the
CA. After generating the CA certificate make sure that you roll out
the certificate via GPO

Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Setting ->
Public Key Policies -> Trusted Publishers and add your cert to the
"Trusted Root Certification Authorities"

Once you have the root CA certificate installed in each computer, all
subordinate CA will be trusted automatically. In this case, We plan to
have your squid box to have a SUBORDINATE CA signed by your ROOT CA.
(I hope you see the chain of authority here)


Go to your squidbox and generate your .key file and certificate request .csr.

openssl genrsa -out yourkey.key 1024

openssl req -new -key yourkey.key -out yourkey.csr


copy the content of your .csr file to your root CA web enrollment
service(make sure the web enrollment is installed), choose advanced
certificate request. Paste the content of your .csr file and choose
"SUBORDINATE Certification Authority"

Click submit and download the Base64 encoded certificate file (NOT the
Der encoded)


Use the downloaded .cer file and your .key file to your squid SSL bump

Your SQUID has now the subordinate CA and any certificate generated by
Squid will be trusted automatically because the issuer of Squid's Sub
CA is your domain root CA.


*Our organization has existing internal PKI that we're currently using
for our Microsoft NPS/802.1x. That keeps us out from headache by
installing a new self-signed CA to each computer for Squid SSL
bumping.




Regards,
Jay
