SSL can't work without a certificate since the certificate contains the public key of the server which is used to establish the encrypted communications. However, you don't need to buy a third-party certificate. You can make a self-signed certificate as described in: http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC28 rgds, Owen Boyle. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
