The following procedures have been performed on Linux O/S 7 with Apache Web Server with OpenSSL, mod_SSL compiled.

The following guide assumes that the Apache web server and openSSL are properly installed and configured. Due to the variety of versions for all three components, providing specific information for each is beyond the scope of this guide.

The examples provided in this guide use the following versions of software:

Apache 1.3.20 Available at http://www.apache.org
OpenSSL 0.9.6b Available at http://www.openssl.org

Step-by-step information on installing, compiling and configuring those components can be found at http://www.apache.org

Commands that can be entered in the command-line are prefaced with a '#' symbol and use the Courier New font. Example:#cd /usr/local/apache/bin

Entrust always recommends using the latest Openssl package for improved security.
