### Using your phony certificate
Once the SSL certificate is installed, you may run into issues connecting with
your DS. This because your NDS only knows how to use SSLv3, with either the
RC4-SHA or RC4-MD5 cipher set. To enable DS compatibility for NGINX, add the
following lines to your NGINX configuration.
RC4-SHA or RC4-MD5 cipher set. Webservers don't support this by default, so this
requires special configuration.
### NGINX configuration
First, you need to compile a custom version of NGINX that supports SSLv3 and
the RC4 ciphers. Instructions on how to do this are included further down this
page.
Then, add the following lines to your NGINX configuration.
ssl_protocols SSLv3;
ssl_ciphers RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:@SECLEVEL=0;
The config settings are nearly identical in Apache.
SSLProtocol SSLv3
SSLCipherSuite RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:@SECLEVEL=0

Assuming that you have added your certificate chain and key, your DS should be
able to connect. It is worth noting that most services for Nintendo consoles
make liberal use of headers, and some headers (e.g. `http_x_gamecd`) contain
underscores, which
[shouldn't be in the header field](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.6).
Allowing this in NGINX is simple.
You should also configure NGINX to pass request headers to your server if you
haven't already.
underscores_in_headers on;
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
### Apache configuration
First, you need to compile a custom version of Apache that supports SSLv3
and the RC4 ciphers. Instructions on how to do this are included further down
this page.
Then, use the following SSL settings.
SSLProtocol SSLv3
SSLCipherSuite RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5
Unfortunately, because lowering the
[security level](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/SSL_CTX_set_security_level.html)
of OpenSSL in the cipher string results in an error in Apache, Apache users must
also modify their OpenSSL configuration. This is usually located in
`/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf`. However, since we are using a custom version of OpenSSL,
we will make the change in `/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf` instead.
At the top, add the following:
openssl_conf = default_conf
At the bottom, add the following:
[default_conf]
ssl_conf = ssl_sect
[ssl_sect]
system_default = system_default_sect
[system_default_sect]

Working around this in Apache is a bit more difficult. For information about

### Update
### The issue with OpenSSL
Modern versions of OpenSSL have SSLv3 and the RC4 ciphers disabled by default,
which means that you will need to compile OpenSSL yourself. For information on
doing this, see the
[INSTALL.md](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/INSTALL.md)
from the OpenSSL repository, or the
[Compilation and Installation](https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation)
page from their wiki.
By default, modern versions of OpenSSL disable SSLv3 and the RC4 ciphers. We
need those to talk to the Nintendo DS, so we need to compile a custom version of
OpenSSL to use with the webserver.
When configuring OpenSSL, be sure to specify the "enable-ssl3",
"enable-ssl3-method" and "enable-weak-ciphers" flags like so:
### NGINX with custom OpenSSL
./config enable-ssl3 enable-ssl3-method enable-weak-ciphers
Download and extract the [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/source/) and
[nginx](https://nginx.org/en/download.html) sources. Then, configure NGINX like
so:
It will install in /usr/local and /usr/local/ssl by default, so it shouldn't
interfere with the version currently installed on your system.
./configure --with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=/path/to/openssl/src \
--with-openssl-opt=enable-ssl3 --with-openssl-opt=enable-ssl3-method \
--with-openssl-opt=enable-weak-ciphers
Run "make" and "sudo make install" like usual. Be sure that you run the version
of NGINX in /usr/local for nds-constrain't. You might want to uninstall any
existing versions of NGINX to avoid confusion.
Gentoo users can add the "sslv3" and "weak-ciphers" USE flags to OpenSSL
and rebuild it. Since there is no weak-ciphers USE flag at the time of writing,
you might want to add my
[flewkey-overlay](https://git.sdf.org/flewkey/flewkey-overlay) and unmask
`dev-libs/openssl::flewkey-overlay`.
`dev-libs/openssl::flewkey-overlay`. After that, install NGINX as usual.
### Apache with custom OpenSSL
Download and extract the [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/source/) and
[Apache](https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi) sources. Then, we must configure
OpenSSL like so:
./config enable-ssl3 enable-ssl3-method enable-weak-ciphers
After this, run "make" and "sudo make install". OpenSSL will install in
/usr/local and /usr/local/ssl by default, so it shouldn't interfere with the
version currently installed on your system. You will also need to make the
OpenSSL configuration change made in the "Apache configuration"
Next, we need to actually configure Apache, specifying the location of OpenSSL
like so:
./configure --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local
Run "make" and "sudo make install" like usual. Be sure that you use the version
of Apache in /usr/local for nds-constrain't. You might want to uninstall any
existing versions of Apache to avoid confusion.
Gentoo users can add the "sslv3" and "weak-ciphers" USE flags to OpenSSL
