I am currently developing an API to communicate with an external service and they require that we use a two way auth with the certificate they sent.
I have received two files: .pem and .cer, both files have the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
I've tried several different ways to configure this on Apache 2.4, using SSLCACertificateFile, but all I get is errors saying it could not start server:
[Mon Dec 05 10:29:06.434853 2016] [ssl:emerg] [pid 6112] AH02572: Failed to configure at least one certificate and key for my-server.com:443
[Mon Dec 05 10:29:06.434872 2016] [ssl:emerg] [pid 6112] SSL Library Error: error:140A80B1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_check_private_key:no certificate assigned
Would it be possible to configure this auth with just this files, or should I request the .key in order to configure everything?
Best
You can configure two way client Auth SSL certificate by getting third party certificate. Apache works on OpenSSL command so you have to create CSR, private key and install CA bundle and certificate.
Install Root certificate in Apache: https://www.alphassl.com/support/install-root/apache.html
For SSL installation in Apache: https://www.alphassl.com/support/install-ssl/apache.html
I suggest you to read this article which will help you to understand more deeply: http://www.stefanocapitanio.com/configuring-two-way-authentication-ssl-with-apache/

I have replaced the certificate and private key to renew my SSL certificate on my Linux server. This is for APACHE by the way. I am positive I am using the right private key, and in the ssl.config file, I have directed the path to the correct places.
i.e - SSLCertificateFile & SSLCertificateKeyFile.
But I still get this error below:
" AH01909: RSA certificate configured for hostname:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
[Wed May 20 21:17:33.432341 2020] [ssl:emerg] [pid 2607] AH02238: Unable to configure RSA server private key

what could I be missing?
#Oluwatobi Elugbadebo. It sounds like you have used the wrong hostname to generate the certificates. Not knowing your environment, I cannot comment further. However I would recommend using Let's Encrypt / Certbot for free ssl and very minimal setup to turnkey add SSL to any apache2 hosted domain. It will handle everything related to the cert and modification of apache files.

For some reason, I can no longer issue letsencrypt certificate from the console. It used to work...
The Apache error log shows:
[ssl:warn] [pid 2397] AH01906: xxx.xxx.xxx:8080:0 server certificate is a CA certificate
[ssl:error] [pid 2397] AH02217: ssl_stapling_init_cert: can't retrieve issuer certificate!
[ssl:error] [pid 2397] AH02604: Unable to configure certificate xxx.xxx.xxx
The domain name (xxx.xxx.xxx) is the server's name not the website name I want to issue the cert to
Port 8080 was never opened to the world.
I cannot run any SSL sites on my MAMP PRO installation since I upgraded to v3.07 and OX Yosemite. I create a self signed cert through MAMP, but when I try and start up Apache I get this error:
[Mon Oct 20 14:36:04 2014] [error] Unable to configure permitted SSL ciphers
[Mon Oct 20 14:36:04 2014] [error] SSL Library Error: 336646329 error:1410D0B9:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list:no cipher match
When I turn SSL off, it works fine. Any ideas?
The new update v3.0.7.1 has fixed this.
Things weird:
1:I compiled this LAMP environment with
./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-so --enable-mods-shared=all --with-ldap --enable-ldap -enable-authnz-ldap --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-ssl && make && make install
2: This configured for name based virtualhost with SSL(not for a
single virtualhost)
3: I can start the apache service with default website, but can't
start when i config the virtualhost
4: with testing too many times, I found i can start the apache
service with default website first, then modify the http.conf file to
uncomment virtualhost config line, and exec command "apachectl -k
restart", finally the virtualhost will be up.
5: I can't find any error messages from apache error log, It just
show:
[notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...

6: I know there are config mistake, but how can I find it, cause i
know there is not place to find out error from virtualhost
configuration.
I have a problem installing the SSL certificates. The problem i think the server name doesn't match the certificate's server name.
Here the exact Apache problem:

We use RHEL 6. How can i see the server name and how to change it ?
Thanks in advance.
You have to set the Server's DNS name first:
so perform the command
$ sudo gksu gedit /etc/hostname to edit the hostname file
add the line www.example.com
$ sudo /etc/hosts and add the line:
127.0.0.1 www.example.com localhost
After that make sure to use that domain name in creating or signing the certificate
I had this warning in ssl_error_log:
[Wed Dec 11 14:02:41 2013] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)
[Wed Dec 11 14:02:41 2013] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost.localdomain' does NOT match server name!?
It is because that mod_ssl in CentOS (5.10) came with a default virtualhost which will use the default cert in /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt....
I removed the virtualhost section in conf.d/ssl.conf and the warning disappeared after reloading apache.
