I agree, we should make it part of our docs. We already have: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/ssl/ssl_faq.html#aboutcerts All the ideas are there, it just needs to be distilled into a simple page with the steps for key generation and where to get more info (That FAQ, other mod_ssl docs?) On a separate note, several things inside the SSL FAQ are completely outdated and seem to only apply to 1.3... -Paul
