Using SSL
From YourSupportStoreWiki
To use SSL you would go to the HTTPD/conf directory. and copy the new keys and certs to the crt and key directories to this location.they are normally:
ssl.crt and ssl.key
Now edit the ssl.conf to point to the proper files, restart the services and you are done.
if you want to create your own cert you can follow the below instructions. Making your own cert will not prevent you from getting errors when going to your web page because your server will need to be added a a trusted authority in the users browser. so if you are trying to get rid of that error then go to verisign or digicert and do it properly.
make sure you have open SSL installed.
Lets make your own Certificate Authority
1: make the Key
now su to root
$su - #mkdir /cert #cd /cert #openssl genrsa -des3 -out servername.key 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
then it should ask for a pass phrase
hit enter 2 times if you don't want to use one.
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:
2: Now lets make the 10 year X.509 certificate.
#openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key servername.key -out servername.crt
It should ask for the pass phrase again. enter the pass phrase of hit enter if you didn't use one. then enter all of your information like address company name ect..
3: lets view the certificate to make sure it looks ok.
#openssl x509 -in servername.crt -text -noout
