Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Creating a apache-proxy webapp on OS X using Server.app. Just enable the webapp on the appropriate domains; the path etc is configured in the webapp plist.

The examples below come from the config I used to get jenkins running on the Overture build server.

Frankly, I think the mechanism used has promise, but is very poorly documented. So it goes with much of Apple's Server.app stuff, though. Apple's "Advanced Topics" page at http://www.apple.com/support/osxserver/advancedtopics/ is not a bad place to find a bit of help, though.

One for the webapp description
- Lives in /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/webapps/
- Should be auto-detected by Server.app? Doesn't seem to be for me, no idea why.
The magic invocation webappctl restart appears to force a reload.

Node.js TLS plain TLS sockets

This guide shows how to set up a bidirectional client/server authentication for plain TLS sockets.

Newer versions of openssl are stricter about certificate purposes. Use extensions accordingly.

Prepare certificates
