SSL Certificate Setup Guide: MDV2007.1

This is by no means a complete guide.

This may only work on Mandriva Linux 2007.1

Directions:

  • Log in as root
  • Execute the following commands:
    • cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
    • mkdir OG
    • cp * OG
    • rm localhost.crt
    • make testcert
      • Please fill out the info truthfully.
      • Common Name is how you will access this machine. If you will be doing it via IP address (as is usually the case for FMYiRC), then you will type in the IP address of your FMYiRC server here. If you access it only on a local network, type in the LAN IP address. If most of your people access it via your WAN connection, type in your WAN IP address here.
    • /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart


And you should be done. The next time you go to access the server, it may ask you about the certificate changing information. Say Accept certificate forever or OK or whatever you need to do. You should no longer be haunted by certificate errors.

YOU MAY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE A YEAR, AS CERTIFICATES MAY BE LIMITED TO 365 DAYS!
