The O'Reilly OpenSSL book - in some examples but not others - cat's the certificate and key together and then just uses that one file as both certificate_chain_file and PrivateKey_file.
cat servercert.pem serverkey.pem > server.pem Is that okay? It does seem more convenient to only have one file to keep track of. Am I correct in assuming that OpenSSL is smart enough to send the certificate down the wire but not the key? I assume it is but where the private key is such a critical link in the security chain I thought I'd ask.
