SSL

Ubuntu Hardy - 8.04

First create a server certificate. Please add the directory and filennames according to your needs:

sudo a2enmod ssl

export MY_SSL_DIR="/etc/apache2/ssl"
export MY_PAM_FILE="apache.pem"

sudo apt-get install ssl-cert
sudo mkdir "${MY_SSL_DIR}"
sudo /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf "${MY_SSL_DIR}/${MY_PAM_FILE}"

Now add the following to your virtual hosts config file (test with default). And use the pam filename and path from above:

<VirtualHost *>

[...]
       SSLEngine on
       SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
       SSLProtocol all
       SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
[...]

Restart the webserver

sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart
