Generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Apache with mod_ssl Enabled
- If required follow the Generating a Private SSL Key procedure.
- For Apache purposes, use the key with no pass phrase to generate the CSR file.
- Generate the CSR from the private key using openssl.
- # openssl req -new -key <key_name>.key -out <csr_name>.csr
- Enter the information as required by the prompts.
- Verify the checksum of the key, this will be used to verify the CSR and the self signed certificate.
- # openssl req -noout -modulus -in <csr_name>.csr | openssl md5
