In today’s guide, we will discuss how to generate a self-signed SSL certificate on Linux as well as how to implement them in Apache. SSL is becoming more and more important as the internet becomes more popular. With free Let’s Encrypt certificate alternatives becoming a commodity that anyone can use, there’s no reason for anyone to not use SSL – not to mention the search ranking benefits, and the fact that browsers and search engines will trust your site. Here’s a guide on why you should use SSL on your website.
However, you can also generate your own self-signed SSL certificate for private use on your server. One big reason to do this is encryption. While your personal certificate won’t mean anything to browsers, and visitors will still get a warning message if they visit your site directly, you can at least be sure that you’re protected against “man-in-the-middle” attacks. A self-signed certificate is a good first step when you’re just testing things out on your server, and perhaps don’t even have a domain name yet.
Let’s start with our step-by-step procedure on how to create a self-signed SSL certificate on Linux. On a related note, check out our list of affordable and fast SSL certificates by brand.
