Slackware 12.0 - Apache HTTPS
=============================

Public domain    
********************************************************************************
### Step 1: Generate a Private Key
    
    # openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

    Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
    ................++++++
    ....................++++++
    e is 65537 (0x10001)
    Enter pass phrase for server.key: 1234
    Verifying - Enter pass phrase for server.key: 1234
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) 
    
    # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

    Enter pass phrase for server.key: 1234
    You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
    into your certificate request.
    What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
    There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
    For some fields there will be a default value,
    If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
    -----
    Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:IR
    State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Zanjan
    Locality Name (eg, city) []:
    Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:ISP
    Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT
    Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:83.170.42.23
    Email Address []:
    
    Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
    to be sent with your certificate request
    A challenge password []:
    An optional company name []:
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key 
    
    # cp server.key server.key.org
    # openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

    Enter pass phrase for server.key.org: 1234
    writing RSA key
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate 
    
    # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

    Signature ok
    subject=/C=IR/ST=Zanjan/O=ISP/OU=IT/CN=83.170.42.23
    Getting Private key
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 5: Installing the Private Key and Certificate 
    
    cp server.crt /etc/httpd/
    cp server.key /etc/httpd/
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 6: Activating SSL in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
    
    LoadModule ssl_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_ssl.so
    Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
    
    
********************************************************************************
### Step 7: Restart Apache 
    
    /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd stop
    /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
