How To Set Up SSL Vhosts Under Nginx + SNI Support (Ubuntu 11.04/Debian Squeeze)

Enable the vhost and reload nginx:

cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.hostmauritius.com.vhost www.hostmauritius.com.vhost
/etc/init.d/nginx reload

 

4 Creating A Self-Signed Certificate

Before we set up our SSL vhost, we need an SSL certificate. I will now show you how to create your own self-signed certificate. With this certificate, you will get browser warnings, but this certificate is required to get a trusted certificate from a trusted CA later on.

Make sure that the package ssl-cert is installed:

apt-get install ssl-cert

You can now create a self-signed certificate for www.hostmauritius.com as follows:

make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt

You will be asked for the hostname:

Host name: <-- www.hostmauritius.com

This will create the self-signed certificate and the private key in one file, /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt:

cat /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt

      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!


In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MySQL, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root user without the proper authorisation.
