    MacMini Server 2011 Part IV

    On request, I did get many requests for this section, hereby the uncut version of Part IV: Settings. Still need to rewrite and change information, but that's for later.


    Part IV: Settings.

    ======= Webmin ========
    Post-Installation Wizard
    - Install Virtualmin
    - Install Virtualmin template
    - DNS need to setup,
    - PostgreSQL
    - MySQL

    goto your webmin url in safari or firefox.
    https://your.givenname.com:10000
    login with root and root password

    click on webmin, at the left. -> webmin configuration.
    click on webmin modules and select + install virtualmin
    Click on Return to Webmin configuration
    click on Webmin Themes -> Install theme
    click on Return to themes list
    select virtualmin template and click on change...

    page will reload and will be shown the new template.
    Click on webmin, left top
    click on "servers" from the left menu
    clcik on BIND DNS Server

    ======== DNS ========
    DNS module Configuration
    Display options:
    Reverse zone must exist? yes
    Zone file options:
    Serial number style: Date based (YYYYMMDDnn)

    DNS Configuration:
    Addresses and Topology
    Ports and addresses: Listed below
    Port number: 53
    Addresses: any

    Zone Defaults
    Allow transfers from.. default
    Refresh time: 10800
    Expiry time: 1209600
    Transfer retry time: 3600
    Negative cache time: 10800
    Default email address: email addes your like to use
    Default nameserver for master domains: ns01.servername.com
    and press save.

    than create an default master zone of the domain used for your host name.
    (this domain name will also be used for name server. aka mailserver)
    It should look like this.

    $ttl 10800
    domainname.com. IN SOA ns01.domainname.com. info.domainname.com. (
    2011102600
    10800
    3600
    1209600
    10800 )
    domainname.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    www.domainname.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    mail.domainname.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    ftp.domainname.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    ns01.domainname.com. 14400 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    ns02.domainname.com. 14400 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
    domainname.com. 86400 IN NS ns01.domainname.com.
    domainname.com. 86400 IN NS ns02.domainname.com.
    domainname.com. IN MX 10 mail.domainname.com.

    Now goto your domain rigistar and add at the dns section
    ns01.yourdomain.com - IP address here
    ns02.yourdomain.com - IP address here
    it can take upto 24 hours before it's progressed.
    (depending on the domain rigistar you use)

    ======== PostgreSQL ========
    If you not already done it by now. start server and let it load.
    than quit the server (PostgreSQL will be configured and activated now)

    under unused modules at the right pick, PostgreSQL
    click on module configure

    Options:
    Administrator login: _postgres
    password: set password to your root password.

    System configuration:

    Webmin -> webmin -> webmin configuration -> Webmin Modules

    ======== Feature or Plugin ========
    Our coal:

    Feature or Plugin
    + Administration user
    + Home directory
    + BIND DNS domain
    + Mail for domain
    + Apache website

    - Spam filtering
    - Virus filtering
    + Webmin login
    + AWstats reporting Plugin
    + DAV Login Plugin

    Spam and virus will be handled by AwavisD-New and Clam Antivirus

    ======== PRO FTP ========
    webmin -> Un-used Modules -> proftp -> module config

    ProFTP:
    Path to ProFTPD config file: /usr/local/proftpd/etc/proftpd.conf
    Path to ProFTPD executable: /usr/local/proftpd/sbin/proftpd
    Path to ProFTPD PID file:/usr/local/proftpd/var/proftpd.pid
    Path to ftpusers file None (was /etc/ftpusers)

    Before we can start ProFTPD, we need to make some OS X specific adjustments. Go ahead and open up the "ProFTPD Server" module under the "Servers" section. Select the "Edit Config Files" option. Look for the line that has the comment "Set the user and group under which the server will run." and comment out the next two lines so it looks like this:

    # Set the user and group under which the server will run.
    #User nobody
    #Group nogroup
    Click the "Save" button to return to the main menu. By now you should have a functional FTP server. However, thier are a couple of "tweaks" I like to do to make things work a little better. Lets start by removing the login delay.

    Click on "Networking Options" in the ProFTPD module's main menu.
    Change the "Do reverse DNS lookups of client" option to "No".
    Change the "Lookup remote ident username" option to "No".
    PASV port range: 60000 - 65535
    Click "Save" to save and return to the main menu.

    Lets allow the use of "CHMOD":
    In the main menu, under "Virtual Servers" click "Default server".
    Under "Per-directory and Per-command options" click "Commands SITE_CHMOD".
    Click "Access Control".
    Change the "Access Control Policy" option to "Allow all clients".
    Click "SITE_CHMOD".
    set FTP commands to All (or just what you like)

    Click "Save" to save. Then click "return to main menu".

    Limit Users to Home Directory:
    Click on "Files and Directoriess" in the main menu.
    Change the "Limit users to directories" option to "Home Directory".
    Click "Save" to save and return to the main menu".

    To avoid hack attacks, change the port number of proftp.
    I changed it from port 21 to XXXX (pick your own number)
    I also disabled anonymous ftp.

    Download config file.....

    SSL Options: Generate a .crt and .key file

    Step 1: Generate a Private Key

    The openssl toolkit is used to generate an RSA Private Key and CSR (Certificate Signing Request). It can also be used to generate self-signed certificates which can be used for testing purposes or internal usage.

    The first step is to create your RSA Private Key. This key is a 1024 bit RSA key which is encrypted using Triple-DES and stored in a PEM format so that it is readable as ASCII text.

    openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

    Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
    .........................................................++++++
    ........++++++
    e is 65537 (0x10001)
    Enter PEM pass phrase:
    Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:

    Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

    Once the private key is generated a Certificate Signing Request can be generated. The CSR is then used in one of two ways. Ideally, the CSR will be sent to a Certificate Authority, such as Thawte or Verisign who will verify the identity of the requestor and issue a signed certificate. The second option is to self-sign the CSR, which will be demonstrated in the next section.

    During the generation of the CSR, you will be prompted for several pieces of information. These are the X.509 attributes of the certificate. One of the prompts will be for "Common Name (e.g., YOUR name)". It is important that this field be filled in with the fully qualified domain name of the server to be protected by SSL. If the website to be protected will be https://public.akadia.com, then enter public.akadia.com at this prompt. The command to generate the CSR is as follows:

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

    Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:CH
    State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Bern
    Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Oberdiessbach
    Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Akadia AG
    Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Information Technology
    Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:public.akadia.com
    Email Address []:martin dot zahn at akadia dot ch
    Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
    to be sent with your certificate request
    A challenge password []:
    An optional company name []:

    Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key

    One unfortunate side-effect of the pass-phrased private key is that Apache will ask for the pass-phrase each time the web server is started. Obviously this is not necessarily convenient as someone will not always be around to type in the pass-phrase, such as after a reboot or crash. mod_ssl includes the ability to use an external program in place of the built-in pass-phrase dialog, however, this is not necessarily the most secure option either. It is possible to remove the Triple-DES encryption from the key, thereby no longer needing to type in a pass-phrase. If the private key is no longer encrypted, it is critical that this file only be readable by the root user! If your system is ever compromised and a third party obtains your unencrypted private key, the corresponding certificate will need to be revoked. With that being said, use the following command to remove the pass-phrase from the key:

    cp server.key server.key.org
    openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

    The newly created server.key file has no more passphrase in it.

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 745 Jun 29 12:19 server.csr
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 891 Jun 29 13:22 server.key
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 963 Jun 29 13:22 server.key.org

    Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

    At this point you will need to generate a self-signed certificate because you either don't plan on having your certificate signed by a CA, or you wish to test your new SSL implementation while the CA is signing your certificate. This temporary certificate will generate an error in the client browser to the effect that the signing certificate authority is unknown and not trusted.

    To generate a temporary certificate which is good for 365 days, issue the following command:

    openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
    Signature ok
    subject=/C=CH/ST=Bern/L=Oberdiessbach/O=Akadia AG/OU=Information
    Technology/CN=public.akadia.com/Email=martin dot zahn at akadia dot ch
    Getting Private key

    Step 5: Installing the Private Key and Certificate

    When Apache with mod_ssl is installed, it creates several directories in the Apache config directory. The location of this directory will differ depending on how Apache was compiled.

    cp server.crt /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt
    cp server.key /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key

    Step 6: Configuring SSL Enabled Virtual Hosts

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
    CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
    "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"

    Step 7: Restart Apache and Test

    apachectl stop
    apachectl start

    UIDL format: %08Xu%08Xv

    ======== Postfix Mail Server ========
    The message "group or other writable" means that another user (not the owner) is able to write. You can fix it with chmod. Example to remove group write permissions

    $ sudo chmod g-w /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta

    Suggest to create a backup of /etc/postfix /etc/dovecot and /etc/apache2
    cd /etc
    /Developer/Tools/CpMac -r apache2 "apache2 backup"
    /Developer/Tools/CpMac -r postfix "postfix backup"
    /Developer/Tools/CpMac -r dovecot "dovecot backup"

    While it's possible to write all steps by hand, I decided to attach the config files.
    (change my files and copy them to the ment folders. i'll explain during the process)

    after copy:
    chown root:wheel /private/etc/postfix/*
    chmod g-w /var/lib/postfix

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could definitely be one of the best in its field. Fantastic blog!

    Hello carsten, Sorry for the late response. (blog is getting some spam so I need to check every entry before approving)Apple reserves memory and cpu for their own tasks. (like account manager, wiki a.o. apps from apple) But this makes other web related tasks and the server overall slower. By disabling you are in charge, what results in faster websites, mail and others...If you have any other question, please email me.Kind regards, Martijn

    @Filip, Thanks. Depends, if you like to run your own mail server, multiple websites etc you would need to enable DNS on your MacMini Server.But you only need 1 static IP to get all running. (DNS e.a.)

    Wow great, thank you. I spent almost a week installing Lion server on my new mac mini. Failed so many times. Services didn't run properly etc... At the end I found out it was BT fault. Their router is rubbish so I swapped it with Airport Extreme and it is working fine since. I have one silly question, do I need to set Dns when all my dns entries are with company where I registered domain? Thanks
