Andrii Zhuha requested to merge coffeeandtv/gitlab-ce:patch-42 into master

What does this MR do?

This request updates the confusing mistake in the original article.

SSL installation requires basically three things:

  1. The public key -- is embedded in the body of the SSL certificate (PEM).
  2. The private key -- the RSA or ECDSA private key that is mistakenly called "public" in your guide. This key is the confidential part that makes connection actually secure and private.
  3. The chain of the CA certificates -- intermediate and root (optionally) CA certificates.

So it is necessary to basically replace "public key" with "private key" in the guide.
