Installation Instructions- Red Hat Linux SWS
This document provides instructions for installing
SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your
server, VeriSign recommends that you contact either the vendor of your
software or an organisation that supports Redhat SWS.
Step 1: Install CA Certificate
Secure Site
If you are installing a Secure Site Certificate, you
need to first install the Secure
Site Intermediate CA Certificate.
Secure Site Pro
If you are installing a Secure Site Pro Certificate,
you need to first install the Secure
Site Pro Intermediate CA Certificate.
Note to ISP Center Customers: Certificates enrolled through
VeriSign's ISP Center do not need the Secure Site Intermediate CA Certificate
installed at this time.
- 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/intermediate.crt
Step 2: Install the SSL Certificate
VeriSign will email you 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 and give the name and path to that file
to the SSLCertificateFile directive. Remember that you need to add the
key file in as well (SSLCertificateKeyFile directive).
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
