How to setup my ircd with SSL certs from CACert?

[Exedore]

When I compile the unreal with SSL support, it generates 3 files:

Code: Select all

server.cert.pem
server.key.pem
server.req.pem

I already have my account with CACert.
Now.. what next?
What file should it submit to them?
And where should I put the generated code?

On CACert.org sign in and choose the "Server Certificates -> New" option then in the box where CACert asks for "Paste your CSR(Certificate Signing Request) below..." paste the contents of server.req.pem

When you have completed and CACert gives you the cert to download, backup server.cert.pem and then replace the contents of server.cert.pem with the cert CACert give you.

After that all you need to do is /rehash -ssl or restart the server.

Thank you for the help Jobe1986

One last question:
In the conf file, the directive

Code: Select all

set::ssl::trusted-ca-file

whats mean?

Again thank you!

It specifies the path to a pem file with the CA certs from all the CA's you trust (only used for validating certificates)
