How to install a SSL Certificate for Red Hat
Step 1: Obtain Intermediate CA Certificate
Step 2: Obtain and Install your SSL Certificate
- The SSL certificate will be sent by email. The certificate is included as an attachment (Cert.cer) and it is also imbedded in the body of the email. Copy the certificate.
- The text file should look like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[encoded data]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
- To follow the naming convention for Red Hat, rename the certificate filename with the .crt extension. For example: public.crt
- Save the certificate into a file and give the name and path to that file to the SSLCertificateFile directive: SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
- You need to add also the key file in as well (SSLCertificateKeyFile directive): SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
- Remember to add the Intermediate file in as well ( SSLCACertificateFile directive) from Step 1: SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/intermediate.crt
Verify your Certificate is installed correctly
