title: How does one install ssl certificates programatically (OpenSSL)
body: <p>I have an application which I am working on for a client which in summary allows each of their clients to create their own own version of the application by customizing the templates and associate their own domain name (all the code is located on my clients server).</p>
  
  <p>The problem I am faced with is that when such users create their own branded version with their own domain name and then want to login to their admin the system can't provide https authentication.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware that one can create a self signed certificate and I "think" there is a fairly simple way of doing this programatically, BUT if I want to give users the ability to purchase their own CA signed certificate then how could this be accomplished?</p>
  
  <p>I have spent a few hours trying to find the answer to this question online but can't seem to find a solution to this perplexing problem.</p>
  
  <p>What I think I need is some simple code which allow the user to fill out the required form field which in turn creates the CSR file which in turn the user would provide to the CA to obtain his CA file and for which some code would need to allow the user to upload it... Which in turn would automatically install it and redraft the needed web services.</p>
  
  <p>Any/all help and guidance would greatly be appreciated!</p>
