Apache SSL Certificate
----------------------

1.  cd /etc/httpd/conf/
** Note: do NOT use -des3 unless you want to enter a password every time the
httpd service starts.
2.  openssl genrsa -des3 1024 -out www.example.com.key (generates private RSA key)
	-out www.example.com.key is supposed to create file;
	it did not, so I appended "> www.example.com.key"
!!IMPORTANT - Make a backup copy of this key and its pass phrase!!
3.  openssl req -new -key www.example.com.key -out www.example.com.csr (certificate signing request)
4.  Enter the requested information, make sure Common Name is www.example.com
5.  vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
	set SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile to the respective paths:
	SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/www.example.com.crt
	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/www.example.com.key
6.  To TEST, goto www.thawte.com
7.  Follow links to get a test certificate, copy that certificate into www.example.com.crt
8.  cp www.example.com.key to ssl.key/ and www.example.com.crt to ssl.crt/
9.  service httpd restart

Test!

Make certain directores require SSL
-----------------------------------

"AllowOverride AuthConfig" to your directory's directive in httpd.conf
This will allow the .htaccess files to function for setting SSL required.

In the web directory you want to require SSL, create a .htaccess file.
SSLRequireSSL
That is the only line you need, or add this to an existing .htaccess
