That said, I figure that since I have openssl installed on my Suse VM, and I know how to use it from having created self-signed certificates for Apache2 on Windows, I ought to be able to use it to create them on Suse, but the problem remains were to put them so that Apache2 will find them, and what configuration file to edit to tell Apache2 where they are.
You put them in /etc/apache2/ssl.[crt|key]. The configuration file to edit is the one containing your host or virtual configuration, e.g. /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/example.conf Your configuration file would probably contain these (or similar) statements too: SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/example SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/example SSLProtocol all SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM To acticate SSL in apache, you need to modify /etc/sysconfig/apache to include "SSL" in APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS.
On both VMs, I have found a bunch of 'certificate' directories all over the place, but which application installed and uses them I have no idea.
This might tell you: rpm -qf <directory|file>
I reasoned that a quick HOWTO document ought to address this, so I opened httpd.conf on the Suse box, and found the following:
# Quickstart guide: # http://en.opensuse.org/Apache_Quickstart_HOWTO
Alas, when I went to it, it was EMPTY!
Not entirely empty - it links to: http://old-en.opensuse.org/Apache_Quickstart_HOWTO Something happened to our wiki setup at some point, and it looks like a lot of content is still in flux. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
