SSL virtualhost after you setup a SSH connection through rsa keys and always redirect to it

You may have done this: ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id and now you want to enable SSL. With Eric Ambergs "Linux-Server" book and Converting keys between openssl and openssh, I did this so far:

• local: "scp MYKEY root@remote.server:~"
  after this its just remote:
• "a2enmod ssl"
• "mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl"
• "openssl req -x509 -days 365 -new -key MYKEY -out /etc/apache2/ssl/nedab.de.pem" and make sure you use a wildcard domain as common name, e.g. *.common.com. That way your certificate is valid for all subdomains.
•  "a2enmod redirect"
• virtualhost in /etc/apache/site-available with help from Redirect Request to SSL:

   <VirtualHost *:80>  
     ServerName ..........  
     Redirect permanent / https://........../  
   </VirtualHost>  
     
   <VirtualHost _default_:443>  
       SSLEngine on  
       SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM  
     
       SSLCertificateFile   /etc/apache2/ssl/........pem  
       SSLCertificateKeyFile  /etc/apache2/ssl/MYKEY  
     
       ServerName   .......  
       DocumentRoot  /var/www/html/ssl  
     
       #CustomLog    "/var/log/httpd/one-access.log" combined  
       #ErrorLog    "/var/log/httpd/one-error.log"  
     
       #Redirect permanent http://....... https://.........  
     
   #        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
    #       RewriteEngine On  
    #       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off  
     #      RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]  
     #      </IfModule>  
     
        <Directory /var/www/html/ssl>  
           AllowOverride none  
     
           Order Allow,Deny  
           Allow from all  
       </Directory>  
   </VirtualHost> 

• "a2ensite YOURHOST"
• "service /etc/apache2 restart"

 And now everyting for that virtualhost should be redirected to a SSL connection.

Even though this took me a while, I did it the first time, it was important because now I can secure a lot of my connections, e.g. postfixadmin with roundcube and dovecot in the background ;)
