Checking if private key matches ssl certificate

To check if our private key and ssl certificate matched against each other, we need to compare two command outputs:

1. Run below command against the private key

$ openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in private.key | openssl md5

2. Run below command against the ssl certificate

$ openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.cert | openssl md5

The output for both the commands should be the same, showing that the key and cert are compatible.
