Apache 2 SSL Hints

Published Date Author: , Posted February 16th, 2011 at 6:03:44pm

yum install mod_ssl

vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

If you got a sign certificate from Thawt, is may be in a signed bundle in PKCS #7 format. Look for this at the top:
—–BEGIN PKCS #7 SIGNED DATA—–

To extract the cert that you will need for Apache, run the following command:
openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in signed_bundle.pkcs7

Your signed cert should be the first of three certs listed. Copy and paste these two lines and everything in between into a simple text file. This becomes the cert file for Apache:

—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–
—–END CERTIFICATE—–
