How To Create a SSL Certificate on Apache for Debian 7 |htttps

  Nov 11, 2013Security, Apache Debian
Background Information
  A SSL certificate is a way to encrypt a site's information and createa more secure connection. While Certificate authorities can issue SSL
certificates that verify the server's details, a self-signed certificatehas no third party corroboration. This tutorial explains how to create aself-signed SSL certificate, add it to your VPS, and configure the SSL
file to display the certificate to the world.
1) Install Apache
  If Apache is not already running on your server, these is an Apache httpd package readily available for aptitude under the name apache2.
  Run the following command to install:
sudo apt-get install apache2  To test that the package was properly installed, enter your VPS IP
address into your browser. If the installation was successful, the
browser shall display the following:
It works!  

  
This is the default web page for this server.
  
The web server software is running but no content
  
has been added, yet.
2) Configure httpd
  We need to configure httpd in order to support SSL. It is available
in the httpd installation as a part of the apache2-common package.
  Use the following commands to enable SSL:
sudo a2ensite default-ssl  
sudo a2enmod ssl
  This time, as stated, let’s restart Apache2:
sudo service apache2 restart  To test that the module was properly installed, we are going to type
our IP address into the browser as before; however, this time we will
use https://. Follow this with your IP address in your browser.
  The first time you access the page, the browser will warn you that
the certificate of the site is not trusted. You can proceed and you willget to the same page as before:
It works!  

  
This is the default web page for this server.
  
The web server software is running but no content has been added,
  
yet.
3) Generate a Self-Signed Certificate
  To use a self-signed certificate, the package ssl-cert must be installed.
  I wanted to configure my own self-signed certificate for the server
and to store it in /etc/apache2/ssl. To do so, run the following
commands:
sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl  When we request a new certificate,we can specify how long the
certificate should remain valid by changing the 365 to the number of
days we prefer. As it stands this certificate will expire after one
year.
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt  With this command, we will be both creating the self-signed SSL
certificate and the server key that protects it, and placing both of
them into the new directory.
  This command will prompt terminal to display a lists of fields that need to be filled in.
  The most important line is "Common Name". Enter your official domain
name here or, if you don't have one yet, your site's IP address.
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated  
into your certificate request.
  
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
  
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
  
For some fields there will be a default value,
  
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
  
-----
  
Country Name (2 letter code) :US
  
State or Province Name (full name) :New York
  
Locality Name (eg, city) []:NYC
  
Organization Name (eg, company) :Awesome Inc
  
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Dept of Merriment
  
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:example.com      
  
Email Address []:webmaster@awesomeinc.com
4) Set Up the Certificate
  Now we have all of the required components of the finished
certificate.The next thing to do is to set up the virtual hosts to
display the new certificate.
  Open up the SSL config file:
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl  Within the section that begins with &ltVirtualHost default:443>, quickly make the following changes.
  Add a line with your server name right below the Server Admin email:
ServerName example.com:443  Replace example.com with your DNS approved domain name or server IP
address (it should be the same as the common name on the certificate).
  Find the following three lines, and make sure that they match the extensions below:
SSLEngine on  
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
  
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
  Save and Exit out of the file.
5) Activate the New Virtual Host
  Before the website that will come on the 443 port can be activated, we need to enable that Virtual Host:
sudo a2ensite default
  You are all set. Restarting your Apache server will>sudo service apache2 reload  In your browser, type https://youraddress, and you will be able to see the new certificate.

  Once you have setup your SSL certificate on the site, you can Install an FTP server if you haven't done so yet.
