<div>
Many of the Certificate issuing (signing) vendors, include information on how to generate the CSR which they sign and return to you as the signed certificate.<br />
openssl is the tool on linux depending on the means of storage ... openssl can be used to convert the certificate/privatekey into different formats....<br />
openssl req -new .......<br />
<br />
List of commands, <a href="http://openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/" rel="ugc">http://openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/</a><br />
<br />
some functionality when needed needs to be included in the CSR, i.e. email functionality, etc. deals with adding Attributes/OID reference to indicate that this certficate includes the additional fucntionality other than a server identification......

Hm. &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;<br />
I was hoping for something more ... therapeutic. &nbsp;Something that takes my hand, tells me that all will be well and walks me through the steps.<br />
There is a guideline by owncloud, but it talks only about self-signed certificates. &nbsp;And from my experience with SHA2 certificates for Microsoft Exchange I know that you are always handed 3-4 certificates that need to be installed in a chain... &nbsp;I expect it to be the same in linux.
</div>


<div>
Since you mentioned DSA and SHA2, the following link my help you in generating the CSR with SHA2 as well as include information in the event you want to have the certificate with multiple names (SAN Same alternate name) .....<br />
one certificate for multiple hostname.....<br />

Whow, thanks Arnold.<br />
I didn't mean to make you write me a digital therapy itinerary - I thought you might share a link.<br />
Very touching. &nbsp;I'll work it through as soon as I have regained access to the machine tomorrow night.

<div>
openssl can be had from openssl.org for diverse platforms linux/unix, windows, etc. &nbsp;the commands are similar....

Hi.<br />
<br />
after having played with Linux quite a lot before 2000, I have little experience gathered during this millennium.<br />
Right now I am running OwnCloud 8.2 on CentOS 7 x64. &nbsp;Both recently installed and toyed with a bit.<br />
Now that I have LDAP access to Windows AD and SMB-Shares to Windows 2012 R2 connected I need to add a &quot;real&quot; certificate to the server. &nbsp;Does anybody have good and understandable instructions on how to proceed on this? &nbsp;I frequently have trouble with the differing paths in some distributions...<br />
Also I have so far no idea what to do with the intermediate certificates.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi.

after having played with Linux quite a lot before 2000, I have little experience gathered during this millennium.
Right now I am running OwnCloud 8.2 on CentOS 7 x64.  Both recently installed and toyed with a bit.
Now that I have LDAP access to Windows AD and SMB-Shares to Windows 2012 R2 connected I need to add a "real" certificate to the server.  Does anybody have good and understandable instructions on how to proceed on this?  I frequently have trouble with the differing paths in some distributions...
Also I have so far no idea what to do with the intermediate certificates.

Thanks,
Ralph

Owncloud on CentOS7:  Add certificate

Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
