Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai, Identrust, EFF, and University of Michigan researchers jointly announced the Let's Encrypt CA project, which plans to provide a free basic SSL certificate to the Web site to accelerate the Internet transition from HTTP to HTTPS. Let's Encrypt CA will be operated by the nonprofit organization Internet Security Survey Group (ISRG), which was formally launched in the public beta phase of the December 4 morning, and then rushed to apply for a trial.


Before I applied for a certificate is a BS way, this time is CS way, feel very fresh.


My server environment is centos6.6


    1. To install python2.7,2.6 will error when applying

Wget tar zxf python-2.7.10.tgzcd python-2.7.10./configuremake && make install# refer to the System Python command to the new version which PYTHON/USR /local/bin/pythonrm/usr/local/bin/pythonln-s/usr/local/bin/python2.7/usr/local/bin/python


2. Download the Letsencrypt client

3. The client can provide you with Application + automatic installation Apache/nginx and other one-stop service, here I choose DIY, only apply, do not bother the client, execute the following command

./letsencrypt-auto certonly--manual


Enter your domain name

Prompt to consent to their recording of the IP address of your request.

This step is to verify domain ownership, which is critical

This step means that the client will access the Http://www.example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/xiDWA8FkdWeTua7MIXBpQ3PeLt8jVu5Eimi4-jPsTHs See if the output is XIDWA8FKDWETUA7MIXBPQ3PELT8JVU5EIMI4-JPSTHS.MOCYBE5RRQ_NSGGFYBRHKVCTSOHWN2Z0JDFTTQKHKQE.


I installed the Nginx server in advance, then only need to create the directory and the corresponding content files in the root directory of my website, can be accessed on the public network.

Cd/wwwroot/mkdir-p./.well-known/acme-challenge/echo xidwa8fkdwetua7mixbpq3pelt8jvu5eimi4-jpsths.mocybe5rrq_ nsggfybrhkvctsohwn2z0jdfttqkhkqe>./.well-known/acme-challenge/ Xidwa8fkdwetua7mixbpq3pelt8jvu5eimi4-jpsths try to get the output normal, no curl. If normal, press ENTER. (If the Web server is not installed, you can follow the prompts to execute #run only once per Server command)


4. Successful Certificate acquisition

IMPORTANT NOTES:-congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved At/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem. Your cert would expire on 2016-03-03. To obtain a new version of the certificate in the future, simply run let ' s Encrypt again. -If like let's Encrypt, please consider supporting we work by:donating to Isrg/let ' s Encrypt:https://letsencrypt . org/donate donating to Eff:https://eff.org/donate-le
