[SLUG] SSL certificates portable ?

2004-09-14 Thread Hilton De Meillon
Hi All,


Are SSL certificates portable ?. I want to generate a CSR  on a IIS machine
and use it to produce a certificate that
will be used on an Linux/Apache 1.3.12-12 box (obviously with the correct
fqdn ,etc)

Is that possible ?

Regards,

Hilton.

The SSL cert vendor takes the CSR in text format, and the certificate /
key pair are also text files, so it will work.

Hi all,

I just spoke to a support at instantssl.com and they reckon you can create a
csr on a win/iis box and 
Install the resultant certificate on an linux/apache box.
