I've used the following to create the crt: openssl genra -out privkey.pem openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out cert.crt But what else do I need? Don't I need a key? I've noticed in the default httpd.conf that the follwoing is used: SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key So how do I create the key? I tried using the server's key, but when I look at it is says localhost.localdomain Thanks -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Webb Solutions' MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
