How to install a CA key (self signed SSL) on ubuntu? [duplicate] I have a bunch of machines that need to fetch https: off a server (or collection of servers). I'm operating a CA and self-signing the certificates on the server(s).

Copying the *.pem file for your certification authority to /etc/ssl/certs/ should do the trick.

You'll have to copy the certificate of the root CA to the /etc/ssl/certs directory in PEM format. Then you must run the update-ca-certificates script which will add the certificate to the certificate bundle (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) and make the symlink from the file to its hash value.
