were needed.

Well, it depends on what you want to do. If you are just using OpenSSL with Apache then you might be giving the Apache http server a config file like:

  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/umcpca/www/certs/cert.cert.pem
  SSLCACertificatePath /usr/local/umcpca/www/certs

Then the contents of the /certs directory just doesn't matter,
since the OpenSSL library is being explicitly told where the
certificates are to be found.

It all depends on what you want to do.
