It is a little bit tricky when I install SSL certificate in Webmin. Here is a how-to of installation of it.

Now Webmin is version 1.710, on CentOS 6.5.

The SSL certificate is issued by Comodo.

The very important part is the key and certificates themselves. I have all these files from gotssl.com. But I know know how to combin them or which one is the correct file.

So, make two files first.

1) Combine server private key and certificate into one file.

new_miniserv.pem


<code>-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
(Contents of private key)
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Contents of SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE----- </code>

your_domain_name.sha256.ca-bundle

It is for chained certificates.


(contents of COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt)

(contents of COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt)

Save both files into /etc/webmin/

2) Sign in webmin with http protocol.

Goto, Webmin > Webmin Configuration > SSL Encryption

Filling the fields of Private Key and Additional certificate files.

And also choose Yes on “Enable SSL if available? “.

Click Save and it works right away.

webmin-ssl-config

Then when you need to access webmin. The URL is https://your_domain_name.com:10000

No more warning of self-signed certificate.
