Lighttpd

OpenSSL is required for installation.

1. Save your issued SSL certificate as domain_name.crt in simple text editor.

2. Move it to /etc/lighttpd/ssl/ server directory.

3. Do the same with your private key and save it as domain_name.key

4. Join the certificate with your key into one file domain_name.pem:

# cat domain_name.key domain_name.crt > domain_name.pem
5. Add 4 following lines into a conf file (usually /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf):

1.2.3.4:443 - it is an IP address and SSL port,
ssl.engine - it is activation of SSL function,
ssl.pemfile - it is file with certificate and key,
ssl.ca-file - intermediate(s) certificate(s) of your CA.

$SERVER["socket"] == "1.2.3.4:443" {
   ssl.engine = "enable"
   ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/domain_name.pem"
   ssl.ca-file = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/ca.crt"
}
6. Set the permission to the file:

# chown root:root /etc/lighttpd/ssl/domain_name.pem
# chmod 400 /etc/lighttpd/ssl/domain_name.pem
7. Restart your server. Certificate is ready to use.


In case of multi-domains security, you can protect it in 2 ways:

a) use individual IP address for every domain name - it changes with PEM file as the example:

$SERVER["socket"] == "IP1:443" {
        ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/www.domain_name1.pem"
    }

$SERVER["socket"] == "IP2:443" {
        ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/domain_name2.pem"
    }
etc.

b) install UC, SAN or Wildcard certificate.
