I spend couples of days to setup SSL.
Because I am not family with security , the HOWTOs just
say how to get a certification , but didn't say you should get
a root certification first. I think the HOWTO should add:
get root certification from
https://www.thawte.com/servertest.txt save to root.cer
run the keytool to generate keystore
keytool -keystore keystore -keyalg "RSA" -import -file root.cer
then generate your certification
if you not use JDK 1.3 you should copy orion/jsse.jar to
<jdk home>/jre/lib/ext , edit <jdk home>/jre/lib/security/ java.securit
and add " security.provider.2=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider"

Subject: Re: Orion SSL? How?
I still haven't set up the secure site part of it yet, but key generation
was by far the hardest thing for me. What I ended up doing was using
Windows to generate the keystore file, and then transferring the keystore
file to Linux, where keytool was able to query it in proper form. As soon
as I decide on a domain to set up as a secure site, I'll have a detailed
HOWTO on orionsupport, as this issue has been critical and extremely
frustrating for me.
