Generate a key file without a password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key]# openssl genrsa -out mysite.com.key 1024 Then to generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file: (This is the file that most SSL places ask for when getting an SSL certificate from them.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.csr]# openssl req -new -key mysite.com.key -out mysite.com.csr Then copy and paste the contents of that file into your favorite SSL registrar's form (Verisign, Thawte, etc) and wait for them to send you your cert in an email. Pretty simple. You can also self-sign your certs, but then you'll always get a message saying that the cert wasn't signed by a trusted authority. -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208219 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
