20.9. Testing The Certificate
To test the test certificate installed by default, a CA-signed
certificate, and a self-signed certificate, point your Web browser to
the following home page (replacing
server.example.com with your domain name):
https://server.example.com |
 | Note |
|---|
| | Note the s after
http. The
https: prefix is used for secure HTTP
transactions.
|
If you are using a CA-signed certificate from a well-known CA, your
browser will probably automatically accept the certificate (without
prompting you for input) and create the secure connection. Your browser
will not automatically recognize a test or a self-signed certificate,
because the certificate is not signed by a CA. If you are not using a
certificate from a CA, follow the instructions provided by your browser
to accept the certificate.
Once your browser accepts the certificate, your secure server will
show you a default home page.
