After installing the mod_ssl package, i got the following problem:
certificates that i created are accepted without any problem by the
Netscape Navigator, but not by MSIE.

I am creating the keys with the following script (which is a combination
of lines from the F.A.Q and cca.sh. I needed to use this because sign.sh
is creating a database of certificates that cca.sh is not, so i followed
the sign.sh steps listed in the FAQ, then i converted the .crt to a
pkcs12 format to be imported into browsers.

------------client.sh
openssl genrsa -des3 -out client.key 1024
openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
./sign.sh client.csr

openssl pkcs12 -export -in client.crt -inkey client.key \
-certfile ca.crt -name "`openssl x509 -noout -text \
-in client.crt |grep Subject: | sed -e 's;.*CN=;;' -e 's;/Em.*;;'`" \
-caname "`openssl x509 -noout -text -in ca.crt |grep Subject: | \
sed -e 's;.*CN=;;' -e 's;/Em.*;;'`" -out client.p12
---------------------

from this script i get a .p12 file, that works great with netscape..

Is something wrong in what i am doing, that the certificate is not
imported by MSIE ? (it says input format is invalid).
