From what I remember, you need to create two certificates and those

programs are kinda spread out. Sorry that I am not able to beof more help as it was over a year ago since I did that on SuSE 7.3 :(. Not that this is any comfort right now, but SuSE 8.1 made this much simpler (thank the Lord for that!). Matt

Which version of SuSE? Because instructions on setting up a test certificate is included.

Section from /etc/sysconfig/apache/ on SuSE 8.1:

# enable the SSL module (yes|no) # # NOTE: before you can enable this module, you need a server certificate. # A test certificate can be created by entering # 'cd /usr/share/doc/packages/mod_ssl; ./certificate.sh' as root. # Also, you need to set the ServerName inside the <VirtualHost _default_:443> # block to the fully qualified domain name # (see $FQHOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network/config). # # if your server certificate is protected by a passphrase you should increase the # HTTPD_START_TIMEOUT (see above) # HTTPD_SEC_MOD_SSL=yes

Oh, don't forget the password with which you setup the certificates as it could prevent apache from starting.

Hi, I couldn't resist replying on this one ;) Is it possible you could send me the detail s in CC too? I am quite interested on this subject as I want to start experimenting with SSL but have no clue what so ever how to create the certificates and set up the connection the right way ....

Kirk, There are two parts to what you have asked: (1) Creating certificates and possibly signing them yourself or having a CA do that and adding the certificates to the server and client and (2) Making appropriate changes to httpd.conf so apache finds everything it needs for an SSL connection. I can help you with both; if you are still looking for a solution, drop me a line and I will send you the detailed instructions. Ali.
