Create Your own SSL certificate for Apache
Create a new RSA key
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Give a very lengthy key, and save it somewhere in a PGP file or TrueCrypt volume
Create a non encrypted version for Apache
# openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.unsecure
Prepare the mark inquiry
# openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Attention enter the host from where the certificate will be use, since browser are matching content of certificate with host url.
Sign the certificate
# openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Add the SSL certificate to Apache
Attention
path to server.key and server.crt may differ!
(SuSE 9.3 keys store at /etc/apache2/ssl.key/)
# cp server.key.unsecure /etc/httpd/ssl.key/server.key
# cp server.crt /etc/httpd/ssl.crt/server.crt
# chmod 400 /etc/httpd/ssl.key/server.key
# chmod 400 /etc/httpd/ssl.crt/server.crt
Restart Apache
