Oops, I actually knew that but seem to have forgotten . There is a
command to generate symlinks for the CA files, do a
$ c_rehash .
in the directory with your trusted CA certificates.
-- Tim
The .0, .1 etc suffix is from the way the Apache web server
(I guess its SSL module) tries to find certificates in a
directory. It hashes the subject name then looks for the
certificate under <hash>.0 then <hash>.1 etc so the digit
is used for collisions. I've never seen a .1 and we have
a BIG directory.
You can either rename the certificate file or keep the
descriptive name and add a symbolic link from the hash to
the real file name, which is what we do here:

Hi,
Thx for the reply. The software doesn't expect .0, but I read it
somewhere and I wanted to make sure that it is not the case.

No, you can use whatever extension you want. .pem and .cer are often
used. Is there some piece of software expecting .0?
Hi All,
Is it necessary to call a certificate with extension of .0? For
example, if we have a certificate of type PEM, is it ok to name it
certificate.pem or we have to name it certificatepem.0? I am using
openssl-0.9.7d
Thanks in advance for the help.
