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/apache...

After changing my system to manjaro I had to recover some settings, and sadly had to do some things again, e.g. my ssh login via rsa keys. After doing it manually I saw this 3 step answer on some message board: ssh-keygen Press Enter key till you get the prompt ssh-copy-id -i root@ip_address (It will once ask for the password of the host system) ssh root@ip_address Now you should be able to login without any password One thing I had to change: chmod 700 .ssh on the remote machine, and then it worked like a charme.
