To integrate Parallels Plesk Panel-managed servers with Google Services for Websites:
You need to create a separate Google Apps account, connected to Google AdSense and Google Affiliate Network accounts, for every hosting server managed by Parallels Plesk Panel.
Once your application is processed by Google and your company is approved for the program, you will receive access credentials by e-mail.
openssl genrsa -out rsaprivatekey.pem
1024
.This command generates a 1024-bit private key and stores it in the file rsaprivatekey.pem. The resulting private key should be kept secret.
openssl req -new -x509 -key rsaprivatekey.pem -out rsacert.pem
.After you answer a number of questions, the certificate will be created and saved as rsacert.pem. This is the file you will need to upload to Google Apps via the Control Panel when configuring SSO.
