Clicking the SSL (Secure Socket Layers) tab brings up the SSL CONFIGURATION page

(Figure 5-20), which allows you to configure SSL parameters and generate SSL

certificates for HTTPS. To configure SSL and enable HTTPS, follow the procedure

below using this page.

Configuring SSL and Enabling HTTPS

1. Configure C

IPHER SUITE and CRYPTO KEY RSA with your chosen parameters.

2. Create a certificate request by entering the subject name and clicking on the

CREATE button.

3. When the page reloads, the text box below the CREATE button will display a

certificate request. Copy and paste these contents to a text file that says a.csr.

4. To generate an SSL certificate, the openssl application can be used. The sub-steps

below can be executed in any Linux machine to generate SSL certificates. For other

openssl implementations, refer to the openssl documentation to find the equivalent

steps for them.

a. Execute the below command in the Linux shell.

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout cakey.pem

-out cacert.pem

b. Execute the below command also in a Linux shell.
