NOTE: CentOS Enterprise Linux is built from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code. Other than logo and name changes CentOS Enterprise Linux is compatible with the equivalent Red Hat version. This document applies equally to both Red Hat and CentOS Enterprise Linux.

26.9. Testing The Certificate

To test the test certificate installed by default, either a CA-signed certificate, or a self-signed certificate, point your Web browser to the following home page (replacing server.example.com with your domain name):

https://server.example.com
Note Note
 

Note the s after http. The https: prefix is used for secure HTTP transactions.

If you are using a CA-signed certificate from a well-known CA, your browser probably automatically accepts the certificate (without prompting you for input) and creates the secure connection. Your browser does not automatically recognize a test or a self-signed certificate, because the certificate is not signed by a CA. If you are not using a certificate from a CA, follow the instructions provided by your browser to accept the certificate.

Once your browser accepts the certificate, your secure server displays a default home page.
