Thanks for the response. Also this is a development server.
the how-to document placed the .crt and .key files
in the following directories.
cp mars-server.crt /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
cp mars-server.key /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key
cp my-ca.crt /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
These directories do not exist on this pc.
Is there a default location under Apache2 where
.crt and .key files need to be placed?
You can organize your certificates as you see fit. I don't use those
locations, either, even if they are present. As I mentioned, the
important thing is that they are stored securely in a place accessible
by apache. This can vary from platform to platform, depending on the
type of access controls that are in place. I don't use Solaris, but I
typically place all server certs/keys in a hierarchy under /etc/ssl/.
Some programs are picky about the format, but you can share a
key/certificate pair among many services, so I store them centrally.
I run my CA on a workstation as an ordinary user and transfer the
keys/certs as needed. Note that you don't need root privileges to run a
CA, just to install the keys/certs on the destination.
There are backups of all of the conf files
Good man. :)
