Get Your SSL Certificate

Issue:

You want to protect access to sensitive data on your website.

Process:

1. Order the SSL certificate at a provider like domaindiscover.com

2. On the server that is hosting the domain, generate your private key:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.yourdomain.con.key 1024

3. You then generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR):

openssl req -new -key www.yourdomain.com.key -out www.yourdomain.com.csr

4. Paste the result of what the CSR is containing when your SSL provider is asking for it:

cat www.yourdomain.com.csr

5. Your SSL provider will issue you the signed certificate.
