Hey all, I have some newbie questions about how to use certificates properly, so I've compiled a few questions for anyone out there willing to offer a few minutes of their time to help me out.
RedHat 7.3 apache-devel-1.3.23-14 apache-manual-1.3.23-14 apacheconf-0.8.2-2 apache-1.3.23-14 openssl-0.9.6b-28 openssl-perl-0.9.6b-28 openssl095a-0.9.5a-18 openssl096-0.9.6-13 openssl-devel-0.9.6b-28 1. When I use the Makefile in /etc/httpd/conf/ I can generate the .crt and .key files, no problem, add them to httpd.conf, piece of cake. But when I try to view the site I'm securing, it says the certificate comes from "localhost.localhost", and not "mydomain.com". How do I get around this? I plan to eventually get Thawte to sign my cert.'s, just curious if they're all going to say they came from localhost.localhost? 2. From a very basic, high-level view, if I make a certificate for mydomain.com, will it, by default, work without complaining to the user about the host name if I try to use it for https://www.mydomain.com and https://myprefix1.mydomain.com and https://myprefix2.mydomain.com - or is it absolutely tied to the hostname? That is, if I make a certificate for "mydomain.com" it will ONLY work as https://mydomain.com/ or can I add whatever prefix I want ("www.", "myprefix1." etc)? Thanks for any info, -id ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
