Dear Fellow Netizens and OpenSSL Users,

We have been trying to migrate from mod_ssl to openSSL for our latest Apache
installation, and are encountering a number of problems which we'd be grateful
for helpful comments from established users:

1) When we run "[...]/apache/src/make certificate" the process does not ask
   for a secret pass phrase as mod_ssl used to do.  Is this normal behavior?

2) We can not get the configuration to support making just specified parts of
   our document tree subject to secure transmission -- it's all or nothing.
 
   For example, if we have the following in the Apache configuration file
   [...]/apache/conf/httpsd.conf:

      [...]
      Port 80
      Listen 80
      Listen 443

      SSLEnable

      <Directory /site/subsys/www/apache_1.3.6/htdocs/manual>
      SSLRequireSSL
      </Directory>
      [...]

   The entire htdoc tree requires SSL, not just the htdocs/manual.
   By this we mean that if we access a file using "http://..." the brower
   reports that the document contains no data, whereas if we access the
   same file via "https://..." the document is fully accessible.

   In contrast, if the file contains:

      SSLDisable

   then no documents require the use of SSL, and all are accessible via the
   "http://..." URL convention.

If someone would be willing to make some rapid interations on this with us by
email or phone (our call) we would be highy grateful.

Thanks in advance for any help...
