and Valid Period, click Next. An overview of the certificate to be created is
shown.
9 Click Create to generate the certificate.
10 To export the new certificate as the common server certificate, select it in the
Certificates tab and select Export > Export as Common Server Certificate.
11 After having created a new certificate, restart SMT using the rcsmt
restart command. Restarting SMT ensures that the new certificate is copied
from /etc/ssl/certs/YaST-CA.pem to /srv/www/htdocs/smt
.crt, the copy SMT uses. Restarting SMT also restarts the Web server.
For detailed information about managing certification and further usage of the YaST
CA Management module and the Common Sever Certificate module, refer to the Instal-
lation and Administration.
6.3.3 Importing a Common Server
Certificate
You can import an own common server certificate from a file. The certificate to be
imported has to be in the PKCS12 format with CA chain. Common server certificates
can be imported with the YaST Common Server Certificate module.
To import an own certificate with YaST, proceed as follows:
1 Start YaST and select Security and Users > Common Server Certificate. Alterna-
tively, start the YaST Common Server Certificate module from the command
line by entering yast2 common_cert as root.
The description of the currently used common server certificate is shown in the
dialog that opens.
2 Click Import and select the file containing the certificate to be imported. Specify
the certificate password in the Password field.
3 Press Next. If the certificate is successfully imported, close YaST with Finish.
