Configuring SSL with pem and pfx files

Post by mahmood » 2019/01/21 18:05:26

Currently, I have defined the following variables and paths in the ssl.conf

Code: Select all

       SSLCertificateFile certificate-standard_wildcard.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile certificate-standard_wildcard.key
        SSLCertificateChainFile intermediate.crt
Now, I have received the following files and I don't know which parameters are related to these new files.

ssl72.pfx
ch97.pem


Any idea? Are these two files complete?

Sometimes the .pem can contain all 3. Yet, due to security specifics - you should not post them here.
Try pointing all 3 to the same file (use 'restorecon -RFvvv' on the file and use full path in the apache config).

So I want to know how to bind the parameters to the files. For example, should I set .pem file for SSLCertificateFile ?

Have you tried using the 3 directives pointing to your file? I think that the file should be somewhere in /etc/pki/ , but this was a long time ago.
