---

Generate a private key

• Check if openssl has been installed
  which openssl
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
  (you may store your cert and key under /etc/ssl/private and /etc/ssl/certs)

  Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

Remove passphrase from key

cp server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

Generate a self-signed certificate

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.crt
