This varies wildly from server to server but all TLS servers will need your certificate chain and private key. certified
(1) prints both of these but they are also stored in db/certs/name.crt
, db/certs/ca.crt
, and db/private/name.key
, respectively. (db
is etc/ssl
by default and name
is derived from the common name of the certificate.)
Place both certificates in the certificate chain in a file. (The certificate comes first followed by the intermediate CA certificate.) Give the pathname of that file to Nginx as ssl_certificate
.
Place the private key in another file. Give the pathname of that file to Nginx as ssl_certificate_key
.
