Installing SSL certificates on Ubuntu Server 12.04
Hi everyone,
I am working on a Nginx + Apache installation for learning purposes, and just got to the point of installing a self-signed certificate for securing some pages that will be used to send "sensitive" information such as login credentials. So far so good.
What a I want to know is how can I tell the difference between using certificates or not at the log level. In other words, I know that using https and a certificate is more secure but I would like to "see it".
To further clarify my question, what should I look out for both in the Nginx or Apache logs to ensure that using a certificate is indeed protecting the sensitive information as it is being sent.
I hope I made myself clear.
Any hints, ideas, will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance.

ssl_ctx_add_extra_chain_cert

SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3SSL)				      OpenSSL					SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3SSL)

NAME

       SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert - add certificate to chain

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

	long SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(SSL_CTX ctx, X509 *x509)

DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() adds the certificate x509 to the certificate chain presented together with the certificate. Several
       certificates can be added one after the other.

NOTES

       When constructing the certificate chain, the chain will be formed from these certificates explicitly specified. If no chain is specified,
       the library will try to complete the chain from the available CA certificates in the trusted CA storage, see
       SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3).

RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() returns 1 on success. Check out the error stack to find out the reason for failure otherwise.
