Question: How do I set up SSL under Apache? Answer Yes.. All the tools are there on both OS X client and OS X Server. If you are using Server, they have a slightly different procedure that partially involves the GUI. If you are installing a cert under server, make sure you read instructions both in the Server Manual PDF and on GeoTrust's website to compare. The original Server PDF had some errors in the order in which you do certain things. The other thing to watch out for is the CIPHER setup. Make sure the CIPHER line in the Apache config is set to All as in: SSLCipherSuite "ALL" it usually defaults to: SSLCipherSuite "RSA:-HIGH:-MEDIUM:-LOW:+EXP" If you are using Server, make sure your apache config files are restricted from viewing by any other user but root. The reason is that you end up placing your key file's password into the httpd_macosxserver.conf file and that is not for just anybody's eyes.
