Configure your web site to use an x509 (aka SSL or https) certificate

Once you have obtained a security certificate from a certificate authority, you can start using by:

1. Add a new https web config that includes the following:

   #SSL Stuff
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certificate/file.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key/file.key
   SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/key/intermediate.crt
   

2. Don't forget to include the DocumentRoot related inscriptions to the new web config:

   DocumentRoot /home/members/name/sites/example.net/web
   CustomLog /home/members/name/sites/example.net/logs/web.log combined
   ErrorLog /home/members/name/sites/example.net/logs/error.log
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /home/members/name/sites/example.net/cgi-bin
   

3. Add a * to the IP field of your web configuration. We use a method called ​Server Name Indication. Though if you would prefer your own IP address you may request it.

If you are replacing your key and certificate, you should already have a web config with this information - you will only need to change the path to the keys and certificates, replacing the paths to your old files with the path to your newly generated files.
