<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>
This module manages common properties of domains for one or more virtual hosts.
Its serves two main purposes: for one, supervise/renew TLS certificates via the
ACME protocol (<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555">RFC 8555</a>).
Certificates will be renewed by the module ahead of their expiration to account
for disruption in internet services. There are ways to monitor the status of all
certififcates managed this way and configurations that will run your own
notification commands on renewal, expiration and errors.
</p><p>
Second, mod_md offers an alternate OCSP Stapling implementation. This works with
managed certificates as well as with certificates you configure yourself. OCSP
Stapling is a necessary component for any https: site, influencing page load
times and, depending on other setups, page availability. More in the
stapling section below.
</p><p>
The default ACME Authority for managing certificates is
<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a>, but it is possible
to configure another CA that supports the protocol.
</p>
<p>Simple configuration example:</p>
<div class="note"><h3>TLS in a VirtualHost context</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDomain example.org
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.org
DocumentRoot htdocs/a
SSLEngine on
# no certificates specification
</VirtualHost></pre>
<p>
This setup will, on server start, contact
<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a>
to request a certificate for the domain. If Let's Encrypt can verify the ownership
of the domain, the module will retrieve the certificate and its chain, store it
in the local file system (see <code class="directive"><a href="#mdstoredir">MDStoreDir</a></code>)
and provide it, on next restart, to <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>.
</p><p>
This happens while the server is already running. All other hosts will continue
to work as before. While a certificate is not available, requests for the managed
domain will be answered with a '503 Service Unavailable'.
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Prerequisites</h3>
<p>
This module requires <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code> to be loaded as well.
</p><p>
Certificate sign-up and renewal with Let's Encrypt requires your server to be
reachable on port 80 (http:) and/or port 443 (https:) from the public internet.
(Unless your server is configured to use DNS for challenges - more on that under
'wildcard certificates')
</p><p>
The module will select from the methods offered by Let's Encrypt. Usually LE offers
challenges on both ports and DNS and Apache chooses a method available.
</p><p>
To determine which one is available, the module looks at the ports
Apache httpd listens on. If those include port 80, it assumes that the
http: challenge (named http-01) is available. If the server listens
on port 443, the https: challenge (named tls-alpn-01) is also added to
the list. (And if <code class="directive"><a href="#mdchallengedns01">MDChallengeDns01</a></code>
is configured, the challenge dns-01 is added as well.)
</p><p>
If your setup is not so straight forward, there are two methods available
to influence this. First, look at <code class="directive"><a href="#mdportmap">MDPortMap</a></code>
if the server is behind a portmapper, such as a firewall. Second, you may
override the module's guesswork completely by configuring
<code class="directive"><a href="#mdcachallenges">MDCAChallenges</a></code> directly.
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>https: Challenges</h3>
<p>
For domain verification via the TLS protocol `tls-alpn-01` is the name
of the challenge type. It requires the Apache server to listen on port 443
(see <code class="directive"><a href="#mdportmap">MDPortMap</a></code> if you map that port
to something else).
</p><p>
Let's Encrypt will open a TLS connection to Apache using the special indicator
`acme-tls/1` (this indication part of TLS is called ALPN, therefore the name
of the challenge. ALPN is also used by browsers to request a HTTP/2 connection).
</p><p>
As with the HTTP/2 protocol, to allow this, you configure:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Protocols h2 http/1.1 acme-tls/1</pre>
<p>
And the `tls-alpn-01` challenge type is available.
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Wildcard Certificates</h3>
<p>
Wildcard certificates are possible, but not straight-forward to use out of
the box. Let's Encrypt requires the `dns-01` challenge verification
for those. No other is considered good enough.
</p><p>
The difficulty here is that Apache cannot do that on its own. As the name implies, `dns-01`
requires you to show some specific DNS records for your domain that contain
some challenge data. So you need to _write_ your domain's DNS records.
</p><p>
If you know how to do that, you can integrated this with mod_md. Let's
say you have a script for that in `/usr/bin/acme-setup-dns` you configure
Apache with:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDChallengeDns01 /usr/bin/acme-setup-dns</pre>
<p>
and Apache will call this script when it needs to setup/teardown a DNS challenge
record for a domain.
</p><p>
Assuming you want a certificate for `*.mydomain.com`, mod_md will call:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">/usr/bin/acme-setup-dns setup mydomain.com challenge-data
# this needs to remove all existing DNS TXT records for
# _acme-challenge.mydomain.com and create a new one with
# content "challenge-data"</pre>
<p>
and afterwards it will call
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">/usr/bin/acme-setup-dns teardown mydomain.com
# this needs to remove all existing DNS TXT records for
# _acme-challenge.mydomain.com</pre>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Monitoring</h3>
<p>
Apache has a standard module for monitoring: <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>.
mod_md contributes a section and makes monitoring your
domains easy.
</p><p>
You see all your MDs listed alphabetically, the domain names they contain,
an overall status, expiration times and specific settings. The settings
show your selection of renewal times (or the default), the CA that is used,
etc.
</p><p>
The 'Renewal' column will show activity and error descriptions for certificate
renewals. This should make life easier for people to find out if everything
is all right or what went wrong.
</p><p>
If there is an error with an MD it will be shown here as well. This let's
you assess problems without digging through your server logs.
</p><p>
There is also a new 'md-status' handler available to give you the MD information
from 'server-status' in JSON format. You configure it as
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/md-status">
SetHandler md-status
</Location></pre>
<p>
on your server. As with 'server-status' you will want to add
authorization for this.
</p><p>
If you just want to check the JSON status of a specific domain, simply append
that to your status url:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">> curl https://<yourhost>/md-status/another-domain.org
{
"name": "another-domain.org",
"domains": [
"another-domain.org",
"www.another-domain.org"
],
...</pre>
<p>
This JSON status also shows a log of activities when domains are renewed:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">{
"when": "Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:45:58 GMT",
"type": "progress", "detail": "The certificate for the managed domain has been renewed successfully and can be used. A graceful server restart now is recommended."
},{
"when": "Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:45:58 GMT",
"type": "progress", "detail": "Retrieving certificate chain for test-901-003-1560955549.org"
},{
"when": "Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:45:58 GMT",
"type": "progress", "detail": "Waiting for finalized order to become valid"
},{
"when": "Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:45:50 GMT",
"type": "progress", "detail": "Submitting CSR to CA for test-901-003-1560955549.org"
},
...</pre>
<p>
You will also find this information in the file `job.json` in your staging and,
when activated, domains directory. This allows you to inspect these at
any later point in time as well.
</p><p>
In addition, there is <code class="directive"><a href="#mdcertificatestatus">MDCertificateStatus</a></code> which
gives access to relevant certificate information in JSON format.
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Stapling</h3>
<p>
If you want to try the stapling in one Managed Domain alone at first,
configure:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><MDomain mydomain.net>
MDStapling on
</MDomain></pre>
<p>
and use the 'server-status' and/or <code class="directive"><a href="#mdmessagecmd">MDMessageCmd</a></code> to see how it operates. You will
see if Stapling information is there, how long it is valid, from where it came and
when it will be refreshed.
</p><p>
If this all works to your satisfaction, you can switch it on for all your
certificates or just your managed ones.
</p><p>
The existing stapling implementation by mod_ssl is used by many sites
for years. There are two main differences between the mod_ssl and mod_md
one:
</p>
<ol>
<li>On demand vs. scheduled: mod_ssl retrieves the stapling information
when it is requested, e.g. on a new connection. mod_md retrieves it
right at server start and after 2/3rds of its lifetime.</li>
<li>In memory vs. persisted: mod_ssl <em>can</em> persist this
information, but most example configurations use a memory cache. mod_md
always stores in the file system.</li>
</ol>
<p>
If you are unlucky and restart your server during an outage of your CA's
OCSP service, your users may no longer reach your sites. Without persistence
your server cannot provide the client with the data and the client browser
cannot get it as well, since the OCSP service is not responding.
</p><p>
The implementation in mod_md will have persisted it, load it again after
restart and have it available for incoming connections. A day or two before
this information expires, it will renew it, making it able to cope with
a long OCSP service downtime.
</p><p>
Due to backward compatibility, the existing implementation in mod_ssl could
not be changed drastically. For example, mod_ssl is unable to add a dependency
to mod_watchdog without braking many existing installations (that do not load it).
</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>tailscale</h3>
<p>
Since version 2.4.14 of the module, you can use it to get certificates
for your <a href="https://tailscale.com">tailscale</a> domains.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><MDomain mydomain.some-thing.ts.net>
MDCertificateProtocol tailscale
MDCertificateAuthority file://localhost/var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock",
</MDomain></pre>
<p>
Tailscale provides secure networking between your machines, where ever
they are, and can provide domain names in the *.ts.net space for them.
For those, it will then provide Let's Encrypt certificates as well, so
you can open these domains in your browser securely.
</p>
<p>
The directives listed above tell Apache to contact the local tailscale
demon for obtaining and renewing certificates. This will only work for
the domain name that tailscale assigns to your machine.
</p>
<p>
Otherwise, these certificates work exactly like the ones retrieved
via the ACME protocol from Lets Encrypt. You see them in status reporting
and MDMessageCmd directives are executed for them as well.
</p>
<p>
More details are <a href="https://github.com/icing/mod_md#tailscale">
available at the mod_md github documentation</a>.
</p>
<p>
Note that this feature only works on machines where the tailscale
demon provides a unix domain socket. This, so far, seems only the
case on *nix systems.

Controls if the base server, the one outside all VirtualHosts should be managed by

<p>
Sets challenge types (in order of preference) when proving domain ownership.
Supported by the module are the challenge methods 'tls-alpn-01', 'dns-01'
and 'http-01'. The module will look at the overall configuration of the server
to find out which methods can be used.
</p><p>
If the server listens on port 80, for example, the 'http-01' method is available.
The prerequisite for 'dns-01' is a configured <code class="directive"><a href="#mdchallengedns01">MDChallengeDns01</a></code> command.
'tls-alpn-01' is described above in 'https: Challenges'.
</p><p>
This auto selection works for most setups. But since Apache is a very powerful
server with many configuration options, the situation is not clear for all
possible cases. For example: it may listen on multiple IP addresses where some
are reachable on `https:` and some not.
</p><p>
If you configure <code class="directive">MDCAChallenges</code> directly, this auto selection is disabled.
Instead, the module will use the configured challenge list when talking to
the ACME server (a challenge type must be offered by the server as well).
This challenges are examined in the order specified.

Instead of the actual URL, you may use 'letsencrypt' or 'buypass'.
</p><p>
If you configure more than one URL, each one is tried in a round-robin
fashion after a number of failures. You can configure how quickly or
delayed that happens via the <code class="directive">MDRetryDelay</code> and
<code class="directive">MDRetryFailover</code> directives. The default setting
makes a failover after about half a day of trying.
</p><p>
All other settings apply to each of these URLs. It is therefore
not possible to have two with different
<code class="directive">MDExternalAccountBinding</code>s, for example.
</p><p>
For testing, CAs commonly offer a second service URL.
The 'test' service does not give certificates valid in a browser,
but are more relaxed in regard to rate limits.
This allows for verfication of your own setup before switching
to the production service URL.

has several uses.
</p><p>
If you want to migrate an existing domain, using static files, to
automated Let's Encrypt certificates, for one. You define the
<code class="directive"><a href="#mdomainset">MDomainSet</a></code>, add the files here and remove
the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcertificatefile">SSLCertificateFile</a></code> from
your VirtualHosts.
</p><p>
This will give you the same as before, with maybe less repeating lines
in your configuration. Then you can add <code class="directive"><a href="#mdrenewmode">MDRenewMode</a></code>
'always' to it and the module will get a new certificate before
the one from the file expires. When it has done so, you remove the
<code class="directive">MDCertificateFile</code> and reload the server.
</p><p>
Another use case is that you renew your Let's Encrypt certificates with
another ACME clients, for example the excellent
<a href="https://certbot.eff.org">certbot</a>. Then let your MDs point
to the files from certbot and have both working together.

<p>
Configure values for ACME "External Account Binding", a feature
of the ACME standard that allows clients to bind registrations
to an existing customer account on ACME servers.
</p>
<p>
Let's Encrypt does not require those, but other ACME CAs do.
Check with your ACME CA if you need those and how to obtain the
values. They are two strings, a key identifier and a base64 encoded
'hmac' value.
</p>
<p>
You can configure those globally or for a specific MDomain. Since
these values allow anyone to register under the same account, it is
adivsable to give the configuration file restricted permissions,
e.g. root only.
</p>
<p>
The value can also be taken from a JSON file, to keep more open
permissions on the server configuration and restrict the ones on that
file. The JSON itself is:

The mode `all` is the behaviour as in all previous versions. Both ServerName
and ServerAlias are inspected to find the MDomain matching a VirtualHost.
This automatically detects coverage, even when you only have added
one of the names to an MDomain.
</p><p>
However, this auto-magic has drawbacks in more complex setups. If you set
this directive to `servernames`, only the ServerName of a virtual host is
used for matching. ServerAliases are disregarded then, for matching.
Aliases will still be added to the certificate obtained, unless you also
run `MDMembers manual`.
</p><p>
Another advantage of `servernames` is that it gives you more flexibility
with sub-domains and wildcards. You can define one MDomain with a wildcard
and have other MDomains for specific sub-domain names.

This command gets called when one of the following events happen for
a Managed Domain: "renewed", "installed", "expiring", "errored". The command may
be invoked for more than these in the future and ignore events
it is not prepared to handle.
</p><p>
This is the more flexible companion to <code class="directive"><a href="#mdnotifycmd">MDNotifyCmd</a></code>.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDMessageCmd /etc/apache/md-message</pre>
<p><code>
# will be invoked when a new certificate for mydomain.org is available as:
/etc/apache/md-message renewed mydomain.com
</code></p></div>
<p>
The program should not block, as the module will wait for it to finish. A
return code other than 0 is regarded as an error.
</p><p>
'errored' is no immediate cause for concern since renewal is attempted
early enough to allow the internet to come back. This is reported at most
once per hour.
</p><p>
'expiring' should be taken serious. It is issued when the
<code class="directive"><a href="#mdwarnwindow">MDWarnWindow</a></code> is reached. By default this is
10% of the certificate lifetime, so for Let's Encrypt this currently
means 9 days before it expires. The warning is repeated at most once
a day.
</p><p>
'renewed' means that a new certificate has been obtained and is stored
in the 'staging' area in the MD store. It will be activated on the next
server restart/reload.
</p><p>
'installed' is triggered when a new certificate has been transferred from
staging into the domains location in MD store. This happens at server
startup/reload. Different to all other invocations, <code class="directive">MDMessageCmd</code> is run
with root permissions (on *nix systems) and has access to the certificate
files (and keys). Certificates needed for other applications or
in different formats can be processed on this event.
</p><p>
'renewing' event is triggered before starting renew process for the managed
domain. Should the command return != 0 for this reason, renew will be
aborted and repeated on next cycle. Some cluster setups use this to
allow renewals to run only on a single node.
</p><p>
'challenge-setup:type:domain' event is triggered when the challenge data for a domain has
been created. This is invoked before the ACME server is told to check for it.
The type is one of the ACME challenge types. This is invoked for every
DNS name in a MDomain. Cluster setups may use this event to distribute
challenge files to all nodes in a cluster.
</p><p>
ocsp-errored happens when <code class="directive"><a href="#mdstapling">MDStapling</a></code>
is enabled for a domain, this indicates
that an error was encountered retrieving the OCSP response from the
Certificate Authority. mod_md will continue trying.

All the names in the list are managed as one Managed Domain (MD).
mod_md will request one single certificate that is valid for all these names. This
directive uses the global settings (see other MD directives below). If you
need specific settings for one MD, use
the <code class="directive"><a href="#mdomainset"><MDomainSet></a></code>.
</p><p>
There are 2 additional settings that are necessary for a Managed Domain:
a contact Email address (via <code class="directive"><a href="#mdcontactemail">MDContactEmail</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveradmin">ServerAdmin</a></code>)
and <code class="directive"><a href="#mdcertificateagreement">MDCertificateAgreement</a></code>.
The mail address of <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveradmin">ServerAdmin</a></code>
is used to register at the CA (Let's Encrypt by default).
The CA may use it to notify you about
changes in its service or status of your certificates.
</p><p>
The second setting, <code class="directive"><a href="#mdcertificateagreement">MDCertificateAgreement</a></code>,
should have the value "accepted". By specifying this, you confirm that your
accept the Terms of Service of the CA.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDContactEmail admin@example.org
MDCertificateAgreement accepted
MDomain example.org www.example.org
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.org
DocumentRoot htdocs/root

</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.org
DocumentRoot htdocs/www
SSLEngine on
</VirtualHost></pre>
</div>
<p>
There are two special names that you may use in this directive: 'manual'
and 'auto'. This determines if a Managed Domain shall have exactly the
name list as is configured ('manual') or offer more convenience. With 'auto'
all names of a virtual host are added to a MD. Conveniently, 'auto' is also
the default.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDomain example.org
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.org
ServerAlias www.example.org
DocumentRoot htdocs/root
SSLEngine on
</VirtualHost>
MDomain example2.org auto
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example2.org
ServerAlias www.example2.org
...
</VirtualHost></pre>
</div>
<p>
In this example, the domain 'www.example.org' is automatically added to
the MD 'example.org'. Similarly for 'example2.org' where 'auto' is configured
explicitly. Whenever you add more ServerAlias names to this
virtual host, they will be added as well to the Managed Domain.
</p><p>
If you prefer to explicitly declare all the domain names, use 'manual' mode.
An error will be logged if the names do not match with the expected ones.

<p>
The ACME protocol provides two methods to verify domain ownership via
HTTP: one that uses 'http:' urls (port 80) and one for 'https:' urls
(port 443). If your server is not reachable by at least one
of the two, ACME may only work by configuring your DNS server,
see <code class="directive"><a href="#mdchallengedns01">MDChallengeDns01</a></code>.
</p><p>
On most public facing servers, 'http:' arrives on port 80 and
'https:' on port 443. The module checks the ports your Apache server
is listening on and assumes those are available. This means that
when your server does not listen on port 80, it assumes that
'http:' requests from the internet will not work.
</p><p>
This is a good guess, but it may be wrong. For example, your Apache
might listen to port 80, but your firewall might block it. 'http:'
is only available in your intranet. So, the module will falsely assume
that Let's Encrypt can use 'http:' challenges with your server. This
will then fail, because your firewall will drop those.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDPortMap http:- https:8433</pre>
</div>
<p>
The above example shows how you can specify that 'http:' requests from
the internet will never arrive. In addition it says that 'https:' requests
will arrive on local port 8433.
</p><p>
This is necessary if you have port forwarding in place, your server may be
reachable from the Internet on port 443, but the local port that httpd uses is
another one. Your server might only listen on ports 8443 and 8000, but be reached
on ports 443 and 80 (from the internet).

<p>
Defines what kind of private keys are generated for a managed domain and with
what parameters. You can have more than one private key type configured and
the module will obtain a certificate for each key.
</p><p>
For example, you may configure an RSA and an Elliptic Curve (EC) key, so
that 2 certificates are created for a domain. On a client connection, the first
one supported by the client will then be used.
</p><p>
Since EC keys and certificates are smaller, you might want to offer
them first for all compatible (modern) clients. This can enable
faster handshakes. Add an RSA key type to support older clients.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDPrivateKeys secp256r1 rsa3072</pre>
</div>
<p>
The EC types supported depend on the CA you use. For Let's encrypt
the supported curves include 'secp256r1' and 'secp384r1'.
</p><p>
Each key and certificate type is stored in its own file in the
MD store. The key type is part of the file name with some backward
compatible naming for RSA certificates. So you may continue sharing
these files with other applications.
</p><p>
Please note that this setting only has an effect on new keys. Any existing
private key you have remains unaffected. Also, this only affects private keys
generated for certificates. ACME account keys are unaffected by this.

<p>
In the default 'auto' mode, the module will do what makes most sense
of each Managed Domain. For a domain without any certificates, it will
obtain them from the Certificate Authority.
</p>
<p>
However, if you have defined an MD that is not used by any of Apache's
VirtualHosts, it will not bother. And for MDs with static certificate
files (see <code class="directive"><a href="#mdcertificatefile">MDCertificateFile</a></code>),
it assumes that you have your own source, and will not renew them either.
</p>
<p>
You can override this default in either way. If you specify 'always',
the module will renew certificates for an MD, regardless if the
domains are in use or if there are static files.
</p>
<p>
For the opposite effect, configure 'manual' and no renewal will
be attempted.

<p>
If the validity of the certificate falls below duration, mod_md
will get a new signed certificate.
</p><p>
Normally, certificates are valid for around 90 days and mod_md will renew
them the earliest 33% of their complete lifetime before they expire (so for
90 days validity, 30 days before it expires). If you think this is not what
you need, you can specify either the exact time, as in:
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># 21 days before expiry
MDRenewWindow 21d
# 30 seconds (might be close)
MDRenewWindow 30s

MDRenewWindow 10%</pre>
</div>
<p>When in auto drive mode, the module will check every 12 hours at least
what the status of the managed domains is and if it needs to do something.
On errors, for example when the CA is unreachable, it will initially retry
after some seconds. Should that continue to fail, it will back off to a
maximum interval of hourly checks.

<p>This is a convenience directive to ease http: to https: migration of
your Managed Domains. With:
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDRequireHttps temporary</pre>
</div>
<p>you announce that you want all traffic via http: URLs to be redirected
to the https: ones, for now. This is safe and you can remove this again at
any time.
</p><p>
<strong>The following has consequences: </strong>if you want client to <strong>no longer</strong> use the
http: URLs, configure:
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Permanent (for at least half a year!)</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MDRequireHttps permanent</pre>
</div>
<p>This does two things:
</p>
<ol>
<li>All request to the <code>http:</code> resources are redirected to the
same url with the <code>https:</code> scheme using the <code>301</code>
status code. This tells clients that this is intended to be forever and
the should update any links they have accordingly.
</li>
<li>All answers to <code>https:</code> requests will carry the header
<code>Strict-Transport-Security</code> with a life time of half a year.
This tells the browser that it <strong>never</strong> (for half a year) shall use <code>http:</code>
when talking to this domain name. Browsers will, after having seen this, refuse
to contact your unencrypted site. This prevents malicious middleware to
downgrade connections and listen/manipulate the traffic. Which is good. But
you cannot simply take it back again.
</li>
</ol>
<p>You can achieve the same with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html">mod_alias</a></code> and some
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#redirect">Redirect</a></code> configuration,
basically. If you do it yourself, please make sure to exclude the paths
/.well-known/* from your redirection, otherwise mod_md

<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_md.html">mod_md</a></code> offers an implementation for providing OCSP stapling information.
This is an alternative to the one provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>. For backward
compatibility, this is disabled by default.
</p><p>
The stapling can be switched on for all certificates on the server or
for an individual <code class="directive"><a href="#mdomain">MDomain</a></code>.
This will replace any stapling configuration
in <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code> for these hosts. When disabled, the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code> stapling
will do the work (if it is itself enabled, of course). This allows for
a gradual shift over from one implementation to the other.
</p><p>
The stapling of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_md.html">mod_md</a></code> will also work for domains where the certificates
are not managed by this module (see <code class="directive"><a href="#mdstapleothers">MDStapleOthers</a></code> for how to control this).
This allows use of the new stapling without using any ACME certificate
management.

This time window specifies when OCSP response data used in stapling
shall be removed from the store again. Response information older than

If the validity of the OCSP response used in stapling falls below <var>duration</var>,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_md.html">mod_md</a></code> will obtain a new OCSP response.
</p><p>
The CA issuing a certificate commonly also operates the OCSP responder
service and determines how long its signed response about the validity
of a certificate are itself valid. The longer a response is valid, the longer
it can be cached which mean better overall performance for everyone.
The shorter the life time, the more rapidly certificate revocations
spread to clients. Also, service reliability is a consideration.
</p><p>
By adjusting the stapling renew window you can control parts of this yourself.
If you make the renew time short (e.g. a short time before the current
information expires), you gain maximum cache time. But a service outage
(down for maintenance, for example) will affect you. If you renew a long
time before expiry, updates will be made more frequent, cause more load
on the CA server infrastructure and also more coordination between
the child processes of your server.
</p><p>
The default is chosen as 33%, which means renewal is started when only
a third of the response lifetime is left. For a CA that issues OCSP
responses with lifetime of 3 days, this means 2 days of caching and 1 day
for renewal attempts. A service outage would have to last full 24 hours
to affect your domains.
</p><p>
Setting an absolute renew window, like `2d` (2 days), is also possible.

<p>
Enable this to use a lock file on server startup when
<code class="directive">MDStoreDir</code> is synchronized with the server
configuration and renewed certificates are activated.
</p><p>
Locking is intended for setups in a cluster that have a shared
file system for MDStoreDir. It will protect the activation of
renewed certificates when cluster nodes are restarted/reloaded
at the same time. Under the condition that the shared file
system does support file locking.
</p><p>
The default duration to obtain the lock is 5 seconds. If the log
cannot be obtained, an error is logged and the server startup will
continue. This may result in a cluster node to still use the
previous certificate afterwards.
</p><p>
A higher timeout will reduce that likelihood, but may delay server
startups/reloads in case the locks are not properly handled in
the underlying file system. A lock should only be held by a
httpd instance for a short duration.
