Prerequisites:

1. OPEN SSL should be installed/available on the machine where Apache Web server is installed and a private key needs to be generated.

2. OPEN SSL binaries can be downloaded from the following website if not already installed.

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries


Steps to be followed to generate a private key for Apache Web server:


1. Open a command prompt with Administrator privilege.


2. Set OPENSSL environment variable using the following command.


set OPENSSL_CONF="C:\Apache24\conf\openssl.cnf" (press enter).

The cursor should move to the next prompt if the command is successful.


3. Generate a private key:

First navigate to the directory where OpenSSL is installed and run the following command.

Note: The domain name will change as per customer requirement.


openssl genrsa -out subdomain.domain.com.key 2048

A unique private key will be generated at the same location as noted above.


4.  Your private key is ready and now can be copied over to the Apache's conf/ssl directory.
