Apache + Raven
Installing your Web Server Certificate
Your certificate will be sent to you
by email. The email message includes the web server certificate that you purchased
in the body of the email message.
Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a text
editor (such as notepad) to create text files.
- Start the Raven PKI Certificate Manager, using the command:
/usr/local/raven/bin/ravenctl
- Choose Install CA Signed Certificate
- You will be prompted for the location of your web server certificate. Identify
the location and the name (domainname.cert) of your web server certificate
file. The certificate will be installed in the following directory:
/usr/local/raven/module/pki/certs/
- Choose Install CA Signed Certificate using the Raven PKI Certificate
Manager.
- You will be prompted for the location of the Root Certificate. Identify
the location and the name (geotrustca.cert) of the root certificate.
The certificate will be installed in the following directory:
/usr/local/raven/module/pki/certs/
- Open the httpsd.conf file in a text editor and ensure that the virtual
host that you purchased the certificate for has the following directives and
that they point to the correct files:
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/raven/module/pki/certs/domainname.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/raven/module/pki/keys/domainname.key
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/raven/module/pki/certs/geotrustca.cert
- Save the HTTPDS.CONF file.
- Restart the server: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpsdctl restart
Test your certificate by using
a web browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g.
https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.
Note: The padlock icon on your browser
will be displayed in the locked position if your certificates are installed
correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
