Thanks for all your help guys. Those links were great! I liked Areg's the best: very detailed and complete (and good for beginners). =)

Just a question or two to clarify:

1) I noticed the certificates created in the tutorial had a *.pem extension. The ones I'm used to dealing with had a *.cer one. What's the difference here?

2) And I'm pretty sure I get it, but just to clarify: If I were a Translator (and a CA) and I was helping two systems "communicate" with each other I would:

2.1) make a certificate for each system and then sign them with my (CA) certificate
2.2) give each system their certificate AND private key
2.3) give both systems my certificate
2.4) in the server of each of the systems, add my certificate into its SSL settings
