Installation Instructions for Redhat Secure Web Server
This document provides instructions for installing
SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your
server, VeriSign recommends that you contact your software vendor or
an organisation that supports Redhat Secure Web Server.
Premium and Intranet Edition SSL Certificates
If you are installing a Managed PKI for SSL
Premium Edition or a Managed PKI for SSL Intranet Certificate, you need
to first install the intermediate CA (‘intermediate.crt’) provided by
your administrator.
- Save
the Intermediate as /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/intermediate.crt
- Add the
following directive to your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, within
the virtual host tags that define your secure Web server and with the
other SSL directives:
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/gsid.crt
Managed PKI for SSL Administrators: how to
find your Intermediate
CA.
Install Your SSL Certificate
When your Managed PKI for SSL Administrator
has approved your request you will receive an email from VeriSign that
contains your certificate. If the certificate is an attachment (Cert.cer),
you can use the file. If the certificate is in the body of the email,
copy and paste it into a text file (such as OriginalCert.txt) using
Vi or Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs
that may add characters. Confirm that there are no extra lines or spaces
in the file.
- Save
the certificate into a file.
- Give
the name and path of that file to the SSLCertificateFile directive.
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
- Add the
key file to the SSLCertificateKeyFile directive.
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
