Re: newbie: help to create ssl connection.
Thawte.com, actually, has a great step-by-step on this one That's where the following comes from: 1- make sure you know the full domain name (https://www.domain.com) 2- pick 5 random files that are of moderate size (I use about a 5K file). Thawte refers to these files as file1:file2:file3... 3- generate the key as follows: openssl genrsa -des3 -rand file1:file2:file3:file4:file5 -out www.domain.com.key (you can leave out the -des3, if you are confident and secure about your server) 4- generate the CSR from the key: openssl -req -new -key www.domain.com.key -out www.domain.com.csr (common name, when you are prompted, is not YOUR name, but the complete and entire domain name) 5- generatea temporary, self-signedCRT from the CSR: openssl x509 -req -days 30 -in www.domain.com.csr -signkey www.domain.com.key -out www.domain.com.crt You will then send the CSR to the CA of your choice. Whenthey send you the CRT back, replace your temporary CRT with the real one. - Original Message - From: kulkarni veena To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 1:32 PM Subject: newbie: help to create ssl connection.

Re: newbie: help to create ssl connection.
Thanks. But I'm not clear about how to obtain encrytpion on the server and client side . Also, are there any tools to create Digital certificates becasue i need a self signed certificate. My configurations: Server: Apache web server with Modssl enabled on Linux platform client: internet explorer 5.0, netscape 6.0 programming language to be used for encryption: Java Justin Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thawte.com, actually, has a great step-by-step on this one That's where the following comes from: 1- make sure you know the full domain name (https://www.domain.com) 2- pick 5 random files that are of moderate size (I use about a 5K file).

Re: newbie: help to create ssl connection.
That is a set of directions on creating your self-signed certificate. As far as encryption, what, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? - Original Message - From: kulkarni veena To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 3:32 PM Subject: Re: newbie: help to create ssl connection.
