I am in the middle of setting up an https server for a project.
The players:
HP/UX 11.0 on a 9000/813/D330
Apache/1.3.9
mod_perl/1.21
mod_ssl/2.4.5
OpenSSL/0.9.4
I generated a CSR request:
$ openssl md5 * > rand.dat
$ openssl genrsa -rand rand.dat -des 1024 > key.pem
$ openssl req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem
And submitted this to verisign for a Secure Server ID. Got the cert, and
now I'm stuck trying to figure out the next step.
VeriSign sez to use a command called "getca" with my new certificate as an
argument. This assumes you're using SSLeay, which I'm not, I'm using
OpenSSL.
All the hunting on the net seems to indicate that SSLeay doesn't exist as a
freeware package anymore, and everything seems to point to using OpenSSL for
freeware. VeriSign support basically told me to "get bent" when I asked for
help.
How do I get this damn cert installed? Is there any reference out there on
the whole SSL sturcture and implementation? I don't want the math, or white
papers on how cool RSA is; I need somehting that sez "this is how it works,
and these are the pieces you need to get it going on your machine"
Thanks!
