An easy way to configure SSL for Apache under Ubuntu (Implementation of HTTPS)

1. Enable the SSL module

1. sudo a2enmod SSL

2. Installing OpenSSL

1. sudo apt-get install OpenSSL

3. Create a CA signature (do not use the password removal-des3 option)

1. OpenSSL genrsa-des3-out Server.key 1024

4. Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

1. OpenSSL Req-new-key server.key-out SERVER.CSR

5. Self-issued certificate

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

6. Copy to the appropriate directory

1. sudo cp server.crt/etc/ssl/certs
2. sudo cp server.key/etc/ssl/private

7. Modify the configuration file

1. sudo cp/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-ssl
2. sudo vim 001-ssl

In the <virtualhost *:80> section, add content below the DocumentRoot line:

1. Sslengine on
2. Ssloptions +strictrequire
3. Sslcertificatefile/etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
4. Sslcertificatekeyfile/etc/ssl/private/server.key

Port modified to: 443, <virtualhost *:443> (SSL port)

8. Restart Apache

1. Sudo/etc/init.d/apache2 Force-reload
2. Sudo/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
