=== Installing an existing certificate
|
|
|
|
If you already have a certificate generated on another computer, do the following:
|
|
|
|
. Move the certificate and the key file to the correct folder
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
sudo mv key_file.key /etc/pki/tls/private/myhost.com.key
|
|
sudo mv certificate.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/myhost.com.crt
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. Ensure that the following parameters are correct:
|
|
+
|
|
.. SELinux contexts
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
restorecon /etc/pki/tls/private/myhost.com.key

.. Ownership
|

|

.. Permissions
|

----
|
|
sudo chmod 0600 /etc/pki/tls/private/myhost.com.key
|
|
sudo chmod 0600 /etc/pki/tls/certs/myhost.com.crt
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
After installing the existing certificate, set up the certificate using <<mod_ssl configuration>>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[id='mod-ssl-configuration']
|
|
=== mod_ssl configuration
|
|
|
|
The default TLS/SSL configuration is contained in the file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf`. In the `ssl.conf` file, following are the directives that specify where the TLS/SSL certificate and key are located:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
|
|
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
These directives are enclosed in a block defining a https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/[virtual host]:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
|
|
...
|
|
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
|
|
...
|
|
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
|
|
...
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To define a different location for these files, do the following:
|
|
|
|
. Create a copy of the `/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf` file and renew the file to `z-ssl-local.conf`.
|
|
+
|
|
. Edit the following lines in the `z-ssl-local.conf` file:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
|
|
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/www.myhost.org.crt
|
|
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/www.myhost.org.key
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This file will override the two settings for the `pass:[_default_]:443` virtual host; all other settings from `ssl.conf` will be retained.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[id='settings-individual-virtual-hosts']
|
|
=== Settings for individual virtual hosts
|
|
|
|
To use SSL/TLS for a specific virtual host with a different certificate as default, do the following:
|
|
|
|
. Open that virtual host's configuration file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/hostname.conf`.
|
|
+
|
|
. Insert these lines between `<VirtualHost hostname:port>` and `</VirtualHost>`:
|
|
+

|
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.key
