Dr. Henson, Thanks for your earlier help. Although the command you specified did generate a key, Explorer failed from my NT station to open the secure page. It would give the standard Page Cannot Be Displayed Message. Even more wierd if I specified: https://192.168.0.2:443 it would correctly complain it was a bad request. When I ran apache without SSL, everything worked fine.
I wiped the drive and reinstall Solaris 2.8, Jumbo patch, and the Random patch. Then I tried reinstalling. This time I used Apache's make certificate TYPE=custom command. I generate the server.key with the commands "cp server.key server.key.orig; /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl rsa -in server.key.orig -out server.key." This also resulted in the same above behavior. I finally ran netscape from the box against the box and got the pop up "The server's certificate has an invalid signature. You will not be able to connect to this site securely." Then nothing. What logs, symptoms, etc can I look into to try to diagnose and solve this problem? I cannot find anything beyond these vague symptoms. Any help is most appreciated! Thanks!
