yum -y install mod_ssl openssl
 
# Generate private key
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024
 
# Generate CSR
openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr
 
# Generate Self Signed Key
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt
 
# Move the files to the correct locations
mv ca.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs
mv ca.key /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key
mv ca.csr /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.csr
 
Then we need to update the Apache SSL configuration file. Change the paths to match where the Key file is stored. If you've used the method above it will be.
 
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.crt 
 
Then set the correct path for the Certificate Key File a few lines below. If you've followed the instructions above it is:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key 
 
Quit and save the file and then restart Apache
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
