I created the CA, then created the key for a Server then created a server.csr and generated the cert.
openssl genrsa -out HOME_Root_CA.key 2048openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key HOME_Root_CA.key -sha256 -days 3650 -out HOME_Root_CA.pemopenssl x509 -in HOME_Root_CA.pem -noout -text # Create private key for Server openssl genrsa -out HOME_Server.key 2048 openssl req -new -key HOME_Server.key -out HOME_Server.csr openssl x509 -req -in HOME_Server.csr -CA HOME_Root_CA.pem -CAkey HOME_Root_CA.key -CAcreateserial -out HOME_Server.pem -days 3650 -sha256 The httpd/conf.d/home.conf file has SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /var/tmp/HOME-test/HOME_Server.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/tmp/HOME-test/HOME_Server.key SSLCACertificateFile /var/tmp/HOME-test/COMBO-test.pem #SSLCACertificateFile /var/tmp/HOME-test/HOME_Root_CA.pem What i need is for the browser to aknowledge the CA i created. Since seeing responses to this saying i needed to import the CA into the browser i have done that and I get an "SCC_ERROR_Untrusted_ISSUER with that in place.
