====== OpenSSL Certificate Generation ======

==== Configuration for Weblogic ====

**Create A Keystore with the self signed private key **\\
For the purposes of this document we will have no truck with Verisign or Thawte for signing our keys.
<code>
mkdir <jks_path>
cd <jks_path>
keytool -genkey -v -alias <alias> -keyalg rsa -keysize 1024 -dname "CN=<hostname>,OU=IT,O=<company name>,L=<city>,S=<state>,C=US" -validity 7000 -keypass <key_password> -keystore <keystore_name>.jks -storepass <keystore_password>
</code>

=== Setting Up the Weblogic Console ===

  - Log into the weblogic console as "system".
  - In the left hand tree view select "Servers" and then the appropriate server.
  - In the right-hand detail view, select the "General" Tab.
  - Check "SSL Listen Port Enabled" and specify a port.
  - Select the "Keystores & SSL" tab.
You will need the following fields to set up Weblogic in the Weblogic console:
  * <jks_path>
  * <alias>
  * <keystore_name>
  * <keystore_password>
  * <key_password>

== Keystore ==
  - Select the "Change" link to specify custom values.
  - For "Specify Keystore Trust" select "Custom Identity and Standard Java Trust".
  - Select "Continue".
  - Enter <jks_path>/<keystore_name> for "Custom Identity Key Store File Name".
  - Enter "JKS" for "Custom Identity Key Store Type".
  - Enter <keystore_password> for "Custom Identity Key Store Pass Phrase".
== Trust ==
  - For the Standard Java Trust, make sure that the password is blank.
  - Point to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security for the location of the "cacerts" file.
== SSL Configuration ==
  - Enter <alias> for "Private Key Alias".
  - Enter <key_password> for "PassPhrase".

Save
Restart the Weblogic Server

==== Configuration for Apache2 ====
cd /etc/apache2/conf/ssl\\

**# generate server key.**\\
<code>openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /dev/urandom -out ./server.key 1024</code>

**# remove password for server key**\\
<code>openssl rsa -in ./server.key -out ./server.pem</code>

**# generate CSR**\\
<code>openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr</code>

**# Self Sign the certificate**\\
<code>openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt</code>


Add the certificates //server.pem// and //server.crt// into your web server
