Which Software am I Using? Trying to Get Certificate From Certificate Authority (CA)
I'm following these instructions to enable HTTPS on a website:
https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/
I have shell access to the web host, so I'm trying to use Certbot to automate certificate issuance and installation.
On the Certbot website,
https://certbot.eff.org/
it asks what kind of software I'm using on what kind of system.
I have a MacOS, MacBook Pro version High Sierra, but I don't know what kind of software I'm using between the list of available options:
Apache
Nginx
Haproxy
Plesk
None of the above
I would assume that I'm using Apache but I'm not really sure. Does anyone know or is there a way to find out?
apache-http-server ssl certificate

They did not mention what exactly is the software so you can get the certificate in PAM format and later convert to other if required. So useapache
