Generating the SSL

1. Make sure openssl is installed on the server
   yum install openssl
2. Create an SSL directory to store all SSL files
   mkdir /etc/httpd/ssl
3. Put your “yourdomain.crt” to /etc/httpd/ssl
4. Put your Intermediate Certificate Advisory “intermediate.crt” to /etc/httpd/ssl
5. Generate the key for the SSL certificate
   openssl genrsa –des3 –out yourdomain.tld.key 2048
6. Generate the csr for the SSL certificate
   openssl req –new –key youdomain.tld.key –out yourdomain.tld.csr

Configure Apache for the SSL

1. Make sure mod_ssl is installed
   yum install mod_ssl
2. Add the following to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
   NameVirtualHost *:443
3. Add a virtual host entry to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for port 443<VirtualHost *:443>
   SSLEngine On
   SSLProtocol all –SSLv2
   SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/mydomain.tld.crt
