Hi kingsly, Thanks a lot for the reply. But if I remember the thing (Did it quite some time ago) when u go to verisign site and upload the CSR for the Digital certificates there's no place where we mention the Web server we are using or the OS it's meant for. so should'nt the certificates work by mere copying and setting it up on apache. And is'nt SSL a protocol supposed to be implemented uniformly across all platform/web_Servers.

You can generate certificates using openssl. Not that simple ... the certificates are dependent on the webserver you are using ... some servers share the certificate format ... while others don't... knowing M$FT's history.. I am pretty sure that they'll fall into latter category ... so you may have to shell out $100 for a new cert! ... or check if the the certificate vendor has an option of exchanging certificates... thawte has a pretty extensive list of things a customer can do on their site) but look on the bright side... you will be saving the hundreds of dollars that a Windows XP server edition would have costed you!! ;-) Kingsly PS: Encryption is a Pain when used by the wrong people ... just spent a long time today mixing and matching more than half dozen Private Keys with SSL Certs !... to find the *one* valid certificate from them!! (my client got them mixed up) A perfect case of black and blue socks in a dark room... and guess what ... the matching pair was the last combination that I tried! :-( _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help ************************************************************************** This email (including any attachments) is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient/s and may contain material that is CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION.
