Dorwin,
Netscape uses a Berkeley DB database for key storage. From what I can
remember when I tried this, it uses rc4 to encrypt the database with an
SHA'd version of the database password. In the end I gave up and
generated a new key.
Conceptually, when netscape is asked to generate a new database it
generates the key and then provides you with the CSR which is enough
for a CA to give you a certificate.
I would summarize your options as follows:
. Try and crack open the database (doable but time consuming)
. Hire Dr Stephen N Henson (http://www.drh-consultancy.demon.co.uk)
. Create a new key and buy a new certificate.
Later,
Kos
| Hi,

| If my first message gets posted
| then forgive me for reposting...but it's
| been a while and I haven't seen it. I'm
| trying to migrate a certificate from netscape
| to apache. Has anyone done this? I
| have my .db files from netscape and I also
| have my CSR from netscape. Can I use
| any of these to get a new private key? I already
| created my certificate from the data verisign sent
| me.

| Thanks,
