To enable safe and encrypted connection between your Apache server and users, you must first generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in order to get an SSL/TLS certificate. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of generating a CSR for Apache. To enable a secure and encrypted connection on your Apache server, follow these steps. How to Generate CSR for Apache Web server with OpenSSL? Generating a CSR for Apache web server shouldn’t be an overly complex process provided that the right protocols are enabled in the web server. Here, you will see how to generate CSR for Apache web server with OpenSSL. Step 1: Log in to your Server: You must log into your server via a secure SSH terminal. This is crucial for ensuring a protected terminal connection. Step 2: Create an RSA Private Key and CSR: Once logged in, proceed to generate a RSA private key and Certificate Signing Request. Here’s the command to execute for that purpose: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr When you execute the command above correctly, it will initiate the creation of a private key. The private key will be named ‘yourdomain.key’ and have a length […]
