How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

  • Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

  • Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

Ordinarily, I would suggest use of PEAR's Console_Table package, this is just an example solution for the first test suggested at http://phpixie.com/blog/test-tasks-for-php-interviews-that-developers-will-enjoy-solving/

create a self signed wildcard ssl cert for testing with nginx.conf example

just change out app_name for your purposes

openssl genrsa 2048 > app_name-wildcard.key

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 3650 -key app_name-wildcard.key > app_name-wildcard.cert

# Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:*.app_name.com

openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -text &lt; app_name-wildcard.cert &gt; app_name-wildcard.info
