How to configure Certificate Authority on Ubuntu/Debian
A Certificate Authority plays a vital role in ensuring and verifying secure connections between clients and servers. When you try to connect to a remote server – let’s say a website, for example – how does your system know that it is connecting to the right place? After all, there is nothing stopping any rogue system from claiming itself as a website which it is actually not. This is where certificate authority servers come into play, by helping our client system verify that we are connecting to the intended server. This particular example is in the context of a website connection, so would involve the HTTPS protocol, but certificate authorities can also be used to authenticate other types of connections, such as VPN.
