Download and copy your certificate files to your server

1. Download your SSL certificate and support files by clicking on the download link in your email sent y Entrust. Please follow all the step available and save all files to your computer.

   A typical download will contain these files:

   • For SHA2: L1Kroot.txt L1Kchain.txt entrustcert.txt


2. Rename all the files from a .txt extension to .pem extension.

Configure the server

1. Now, in the server (linux), open the Apache httpd.conf file in a text editor or using Terminal, type:
nano /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd-ssl.conf
2. This is a default location of a typical Apache installation on Red Hat. If you're unsure of the configuration file location, you can check it using these command:
   • apache2ctl -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE or
   • apachectl -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE or
   • httpd -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE
3. Locate the configuration line as below:
   • SSLCertificateFile "/etc/pki/tls/cert/server.pem"
   • SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/pki/tls/private/server.key"
   • SSLCertificateChainFile "/etc/pki/tls/cert/ca-bundle.pem"
4. replace the value into below:
5. Save your httpd-ssl.conf file and restart Apache. Now please check the configuration by typing this command:
service apache2 configtest or service apache configtest or service httpd configtest
6. It should return Syntax OK. If not, check the httpd-ssl.conf file and amend any error

You can most likely do so by using the apachectl script: service apache2 stop service apache2 start You should now be set to start using your Digicert certificate with your Apache mod_SSL Server
