Configuring Apache for Shibboleth on CentOS to the ukfederation w/ Godaddy certs

Part 3. Apache config. (1 hour)

[bash] cd /etc/shibboleth openssl genrsa -des3 -out external.key 2048 openssl req -new -key external.key -out external.csr [/bash]

The above will create a CSR request for your resource, when asked what the common name is enter something like shib.yourdomain.com - DO NOT use sp.yourdomain.com or the same common name as you used to register your SP!

Edit the CSR and copy its contents into clipboard. Then login to your godaddy hosting account and paste the CSR request into your certificate request.

Godaddy will do their thing then get back to you with a CRT a few files usually within 24 hours.

When they get back to you with the files copy or download them the files to /etc/shibboleth

Rename shib.yourdomain.com.crt to external.crt

Rename gd_bundle.crt to external_int.crt and place it in /etc/shibboleth
