+ | ==== Buying a Certificate ==== | ||

+ | == Namecheap == | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are the steps involved in generating an SSL certificate to be validated by an SSL provider: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a private key to be used only by that server: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | openssl genrsa -out / | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request) file using the RSA private key. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When creating the CSR, you will need to populate the local information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | openssl req -new -key / | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Namecheap will ask for the newly generated CSR file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you give them the file, they will ask for an email address to verify the SSL certificate creation with. They will pull a list of possible e-mail addresses to use. The recipient will receive a link to validate the creation of the SSL certificate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the order is validated, you will get an email from Namecheap with two files: the certificate, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Save the certificate to ''/ | ||
