The "manual" way to do this is creating keypair and certificate with openssl, stuff the whole thing into a PKCS#12 bag and import it into your browser. At least this should work with Mozilla et al. and Internet Explorer. You may start with the manual pages http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html, http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/CA.pl.html and http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/pkcs12.html. Maybe I can find the time this evening to write a sample script for you.I am new to this but I think what I want is to use a private key client X.509 certificate and install it on clients' web browsers to use as access control from only thos authorized to access and decypt data only they should be allowed to see.I am using openssl, linux enterprise (old version), Apache 1.3, and php 4.3. Many thanks for any links with clear instructions on how to create a private/client cert, export it and install it on client browser!
The manual way is not really comfortable for "the average user", so if you want to issue certificates for those I'd advise you to build a web interface for requesting certificates. If that's what you need I can have a look if I can give you some sample code.
