Leopard Server Install

From cosign wiki

Revision as of 12:45, 30 March 2009

Changes from before that I got hung up on:

• Web directory changed from /etc/httpd to /etc/apache2
• Edits made Mar 09 to reflect what to do with the signed certificate and instructions to update the umwebCA.pem file

Full procedure I used (in chicken-scratch format):

• In Server Admin, select the hostname of the server
• Click the Certificates tab
• Click the + button

Common Name: lsa-mac-dev1.lsait.lsa.umich.edu
Org: University of Michigan
OU: LSA IT
City: Ann Arbor
State: Michigan
(leave the others as defaults)

• Click Save

Open a web-browser to here:

https://webservices.itcs.umich.edu/

and choose the Request an SSL certificate option (you'll be filling it out momentarily) Back in Server Admin:

• Select the cert you just created
• Under the gearwheel menu, choose Generate CSR
• Drag the certificate icon to the webpage's CSR box
• Fill out the form, being sure to choose umwebCA as the signer

When you get the signed certificate back from the UMWeb Certificate Authority, return to Server Admin and:

• Select the self-signed cert in Server Admin you created earlier
• Under the gearwheel menu, choose 'Add Signed or Renewed Certificate from Certificate Authority' and add the signed certificate you received

In Server Admin, start the Web Service

• Click the Sites button, and select the default site (*)
• On the Options tab, allow 'CGI Execution'
• On the Logging tab, set both the access and error logs to archive every 7 days
• Click Save

• cd /etc/apache2
• sudo mkdir cosign
• cd cosign
• sudo vi site_conf
