Renew SSL Certificate

Our example uses a self-signed certificate. To renew the certificate for 365 days once it expires (see http://www.euhq.org/debian-apache-ssl-howto.html):

  # cd /etc/apache-ssl
  # openssl genrsa -out togaware.com.key 1024
  # chmod 600 togaware.com.key
  # openssl req -new -key togaware.com.key -out togaware.com.csr
    AU
    ACT
    Canberra
    Togaware
    Data Mining
    Togaware
    Kayon.Toga@togaware.com
    (no challenge password)
  # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in togaware.com.csr \
            -signkey togaware.com.key -out togaware.com.crt
  # mv apache.pem apache.pem.old 
  # cp togaware.com.key apache.pem 
  # cat togaware.com.crt >> apache.pem 
  # chmod 600 apache.pem

Then restart the server:

  # wajig restart apache-ssl
