well I have created a certificate with all neccessary data. At least I think I've done it right. And yes, as you said, crypto isn't a thing to deal with, if you haven't got at least a minor understanding of what one is doing. Well, I think that I do have at least a minor understanding, but on the other hand I'm not that far, that I know how to deal with some sorts of jobs I need to do. Just as like as the one I'm still working on. A certificate for some subdoimains and the maindomain. All dmians should have the same cerfcate.

Well, I know exactly what you're saying and under "normal" circumstances I would agree to your cookbook statement, but sometimes you're facing challenges and for somewhat reasons you're standing since a while on the hose and haven't got a clue, why - and that's where I'm at. Maybe you or someone else on the list might be so kind to help me out, so that I'll get the thing done. Thaks a lot to all who might help me!
