OpenSSL

Configure

New Instructions: From Homebrew

$ brew install openssl

Old Instructions: From Source

Configure 32 bit:

./Configure --prefix=${HOME}/pkg/openssl/1.0.0_32

Configure 64 bit:

./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --prefix=${HOME}/pkg/openssl/1.0.0_64

or just run ./Configure and follow the instructions.

Installing New Certificates

To install new certificates, put them in /usr/local/opt/openssl/certs

Once you do that, run /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash

This can be useful for a couple of different things:

• Using Stunnel to route arbitrary traffic through SSL, which requires a certificate (see RaspberryPi/Reverse_SSH, RaspberryPi/SSH_Stunnel, and RaspberryPi/Reverse_SSH_Stunnel for applications)
• Setting up an HTTPS-capable web server
• Issuing a certificate for a wireless network

There are multiple other uses (beyond the scope of this page).
