mod_ssl: creating self signed certificate on apache for multiple domains

["Agnello George" <agnello.dsouza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

I am trying to implement ssl on my Apache server for multiple domains  . I have created  a self -signed certificate using the following command .

 

( For domain agnello.com )

 openssl req -new -x509 -days 30 -keyout  /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/agnello.com/server.key  -out /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/agnello.com/server.crt -subj '/CN=agnello.sys.qualiproj.com'

 

( for domain dsouza.com )

openssl req -new -x509 -days 30 -keyout  /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/dsouza.com/server.key  -out /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/dsouza.com/server.crt -subj '/CN=dsouza.sys.qualiproj.com'

 

 

It creates :

 

server.key and server .crt in the following location ( /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/agnello.com/ ) ---- > agnello.com

 

server.key and server .crt in the following location ( /usr/local/apache2/conf/domains_ssl/dsouza.com/ ) ---- > dsouza.com

 

in the http-vhost.conf file i have added the certificate and the key

 

vi  /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.244:80

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.244:443

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.244:443>
ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CustomLog /websites/nokia.com/logs/nokia.sys.qualiproj.access_log common
</VirtualHost>
 

when i restart Apache its ask me of a password phrase  ( which password do i input here ??? )

 

 

Is this the way to go about creating ssl certificates fro multiple domains,  or is there any other alternate way ??

 

 

Awaiting your feed back !!

 

Thanks
