Add Apache2 SSL certificate

As root on the ESIA server, generate a key and certificate using the command

copy

 openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ESIA.key -out ESIA.csr 

Answer the questions. For the password challenge ⇒ leave blank, ENTER.

The above command has generated two files:

• ESIA.key ⇒ The private key
• ESIA.csr ⇒ to be sent to the certification authority

CSR = Certificate Signing Request

The ESIA.csr file must be certified by a certification authority in order to obtain a CRT file.

After signing your CSR file. Place your two files in the

copy

 /usr/local/esia/certs/ 

Then open and modify the

copy

 nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/esia-ssl.conf 

The file contains this :

...

 

        SSLEngine on

        SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/esia/certs/enterprise-esia.crt

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/esia/certs/enterprise-esia.key

</VirtualHost>

Replace « enterprise-esia.crt » with « ESIA.crt » and « enterprise-esia.key » with « ESIA.key »

To finish, restart the apache2 service

copy

 systemctl restart apache2
