How To Install A Network Solutions EV SSL Certificate On CentOS Apache 2
erics, Posted October 11th, 2011 at 5:42:57pm
Create the server key from your original private key by removing the pass-phase:
|
1 |
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key |
These are the files that NetSol provided me in the download .zip file (domain name changed to protect the innocent):
|
1 2 3 4 |
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt NetworkSolutionsAddTrustEVServerCA.crt NetworkSolutionsEVServerCA.crt WWW.YOURDOMAIN.COM.crt |
Network Solutions does not make it easy on you – in the install docs they tell you there is yet another file that you really need, but they do not include it. Typical NetSol crap…
For you convenience I have a link to the file for you: Apache_Plesk_Install.txt
Place the three files (server.key, YOURDOMAIN.crt, and Apache_Plesk_Install.txt) into your server’s standard SSL cert location (or anywhere secure) and point your configuration at them…
For example, on my server the directory is /etc/ssl/ and my config file is /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:

1 2 3 4 |
SSLEngine on SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/server.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/WWW.YOURDOMAIN.COM.crt SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/Apache_Plesk_Install.txt |
Different Apache installations use different directories on different OS’s. YMMV. Apache 2 SSL FAQ
Network Solutions documentation is pretty poor as well, so one of their own techs emailed me the link below. I feel that NetSol should have better install docs for a product that costs almost one thousand dollars. When I got install docs from Thawte, they were clear, precise and made the install of the cert they issued a snap. NetSol not so much…
