  Problem How do I install an SSL Certificate into Nginx? Solution The HttpSslModule supports SSL certificates in Nginx although it is not enabled by default.  This guide explains how to configure it for use. Part I - Preparing Your SSL Certificate Nginx is similar to Apache on its install, however the intermediate and root certificates in the chain are specified separately as they are in Apache.  In order to successfully install your SSL certificate, you must create a 'bundle file' that contains your SSL certificate, the intermediate certificate and the root certificate in one file.  Part I of this document will explain how to create this 'bundle file' in the correct order. First you must obtain your certificate in PEM format.  By default, QuoVadis issues certificates in this format.  You must convert this file if you have your SSL certificate in a different format. Note:  QuoVadis provides a conversion tool at  https://pkiwidgets.quovadisglobal.com/pkiwidgets/convertC

  A   .PFX (Personal Information Exchange)   file is used to store a certificate and its private and public keys. For example, if we need to transfer SSL certificate from one windows server to another, You can simply export it as   .pfx   file using IIS SSL export wizard or MMC console. Sometimes we need to extract private keys and certificates from .pfx file, but we can’t directly do it. This article can be helpful for you to do the same. This article will also helpful for you to migrate an SSL certificate to AWS ELB because ELB required private keys and certificates separately. In order to use below commands, you must have OpenSSL installed on your Windows or Linux system Extract Private Key from PFX The following command will extract the private key from the .pfx file. A new file  private-key.pem  will be created in current directory. This command required a password set on the pfx file. openssl pkcs12 -in myfile.pfx -nocerts -out private-key.pem -nodes Enter Import Password: Ope
