SSL on the server's main domain:

If an Admin wishes to add an SSL certificate on the main server's domain, they must do it manually. To do this, the Admin must obtain the certificate and key (explained in just a moment). After these have been acquired, the Admin will have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and scroll to the very bottom. You should see 2 virtual host directives. With the one that says <VirtualHost <yourip>:443> you must modify the SSL tags.

This is at http://www.directadmin.com/technotes.html

Is it still relevant? Do you still have to install SSL certs for the server manually? Wanted to make sure before I went ahead!

Thanks!
 
Hello,

Not really. To add a server certificate, an Admin does it from the User panel. When done as an admin, it will be installed as the shared server certificate.
