How to: Installing CA [root] Certificates

Install CA CertificatesRe: Installation of CA, Install SSL CA Certificates

If you are using a shared or managed hosting service (such as Plesk) then the installation of SSL certificates is straightforward and can be done through the control panel interface. However, when you need to install on a server level with no panel things are a little more involved.

To install certificate authority (CA) certs in your Centos server:

  • Copy the certificates to /etc/pki/tls/certs
  • Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
  • Add “SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/YourCAFile.crt”
  • Test with “service httpd configtest”

If all ok, “service httpd restart”
