Securing your RTM Apache Web Server utilizing HTTPS

In order to secure your Apache web server, there are several steps that you must take, and depending on your level of security, several additional steps that should be taken.

Those steps include:
  1. Redirecting Clients to use HTTPS Automatically
  2. Creating a valid CSR for your Certifying Authority
  3. Installing the Certificate that you received from your Certifier
  4. Disabling SSL versions 2 and 3

The following topics explain how to achieve each of these steps. The topics you use will depend on your specific installation. For example, if the installation has two RTM web servers controlled through either RRDNS or a load balancer, you will use a 'wildcard' certificate to allow for trusting of all hosts within the load balancing setup.
