Hello, My apologies for what might seem a ridiculous question for a simple task. I have a server(A) that posts XML data to a URL on server(B) via HTTPS. Now server(B) have updated their SSL cert and have sent me over two files both have .cer extensions on them and was told to upload this to your server(A). One is a CA Cert and the other file I am now unsure of what it is.
Server(A) is a Linux/Apache Server. As far as my understanding of it goes, when server(B) send me over their CA Cert, I create a PEM file from it and store it in the SSL Storage Directory and Job done. I have read a lot of articles that cover installing an SSL cert for a domain hosted on a server, but I am not really coming up with the right results. What I have tried so far is: . Uploaded the two .cer files to the SSL Storage Directory on server(A) . Tried to create a PEM file with a number of commands that keep returning errors such as: unable to load certificate 26881:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:632:Expec ting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE . I have tried to change the format of the .cer file to see if that was causing the problem but also no joy, the commands error out. Would anyone have any advice on what the correct method should be for installing a Trusted CA cert file on a Linux/Apache Server? I am running out of hair to pull out.. haha. Cheers! David
