hi gyu's; i've some strange experience using the (latest) openssl (0.9.6c) library. first: i build openssl 0.9.6b on a solaris 7 box. the library is used with apache 1.3.17 and modssl 2.8.0. the creation of a self-signed certificate was done according chapter 6 of the mod-ssl handbook. there are no problems. the certificate is accepted by all incarnations of ie and sure all the mozilla-types (ns 4.x->mozilla). second: i want to upgrade the apache installation to 1.3.24 with modssl 2.8.8 and openssl 0.9.6c. the build was done on a solaris 8 box. the creation of the self-signed certificate was done the same way described above. no problems in the creation process. but after installing the certificates on the server they where accepted only by the mozilla-types (ns 4.x-> mozilla) and opera browsers. all types of ie are not able to use this certificate. i get their stupid error-page with zero-information :-( . there is no error message in the logs, only in the 'ssl_engine_log' that a connection was established. then i tried using a certificate build with the openssl installation on the solaris 7 box. after i installed this on the apache_modssl on the solaris 8 box also the ie-browser are able to establish a working https connection. now i'm a little bit surprised, why the newer library creates certs which are not able for use with ie but the older one does. where is my mistake? :-\
any help will be appreciated. cu. -- mit freundlichem Gruß / best regards Maik Hertha --------------------------------------------------- h+h EBSP Anwenderbetreuung, +49 5361 9-74950 Volkswagen AG / Brieffach 1721 / D-38436 Wolfsburg http://ebsp.wob.vw.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------- hartmann+hertha it (beratung / entwicklung / support) http://www.hartmann-hertha.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------- h+h ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
