Install certificate to secure ubuntu server

[wpsiddu]

Hi,

I am new to certificates and process related to them.

I have setup bugzilla in an ubuntu server and did a DNS entry in godaddy. Now to secure it, I should install certificate? How do I install the certificate and secure my site?

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions

Hi @wpsiddu, thanks for posting.

Did you already purchased an SSL Certificate? If not, that's where you would want to start. Steps on requesting a certificate can be found here:

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the reply

I have requested for the certificate. Once I get it, How will I install and enable and configure it in Ubuntu Server?

Hi @wpsiddu, thanks for following up.

The installation depends more on the software your server is running as opposed to it's OS. For example, if you are using Apache, you will want to follow Apache installation steps. You can find an example here:
