Apache configuration
The Venafi Trust Protection Platform™ Apache driver supports management of PEM files for Apache web servers running on Linux or Windows. You can also provision the end-entity, chain, and private key to a single file (rather than two or three separate files), and provision certificates that use ECC keys generated centrally or remotely (using the SafeNet Luna SA HSM).
DID YOU KNOW? Using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as your method of encrypting keys can help you prevent system outages. This is because the ECC algorithm is proving to be more secure than RSA.
Both the CAPI and Apache drivers support provisioning certificates that use elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) keys using central or remote generation. Following provisioning, certificates and keys are extracted and, if using remote generation, download certificates and keys in all supported certificate store formats.
For more information about ECC, see About RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) key algorithms.
This section provides the information you need to manage PEM files for Apache web servers.
