How To Create SSL Certificate for Apache on CentOS 7
An SSL certificate is an electronic ‘document’ that is used to bind together a public security key and a website’s identity information (such as name, location, etc.) by means of a digital signature. The ‘document’ is issued by a certificate provider such as GlobalSign, Verisign, GoDaddy, Comodo, Thawte, and others.
In this article I will show how to generate self-signed certificate for Apache on CentOS. Please note that self-signed certificate does encrypt communication between your server and any clients. However, because it is not signed by any of the trusted certificate authorities included with web browsers, it’s not trusted by browsers by default and can’t be used to verify the identity of your server.
