The HOWTO\certificates.txt says to generate the self-signed cert with: openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095
I tried with both an RSA key and a DSA key. They each fail in slightly
different ways, but both seem to be trying to get something from the environment.

I had no problems generating the keys with the command in HOWTO\keys.txt.
What is it that is missing from the environment?
As long as I'm at it ... what do I do with the certificates once I have them? I am trying to enable SSL communications on a Windows 2000 machine.
