It seems that there is a certs directory for certificates and private
directory  for (I presume) private keys.
In OpenSSL for AIX, both of these can be found in /var/ssl

Some questions:
1) If I just had one certificate, I'd put it in /var/ssl/certs and I'd
be done.  But the certificate(s) I bought from Digicert (and I hear that
Verisign is switching over to this) came as:
=  a trusted Root Cert
=  a Digicert cert
= a cert for my server (upon which I created the CSR)
Do I just drop them in there....or combine them into a single file in
some order...and what should the file be named?
2) I take it (yes?) that the private key comes into the /var/ssl/private
directory
3) Do I have to run mod_ssl afterwards??
4) Or is the certs and private directory just a place to stash certs and key without any function tie-in to SSL?

Digicert has all kind of instructions for web browsers, but nothing for
installing the certificate in SSL itself..
Or isn't that done?

Signed with my private key,
(puzzled and clueless)
