Hi,

This topic is one that I am ignorant on and appreciate any guidance.

I found some sources of info on web and mailing lists that say I can simply 
copy a wild card cert to any apache server as is.

I've had a wild card cert running on one of my servers for a while now and wish 
to take advantage of this commercially purchased feature.

When I simply copy my public and private keys (commercial.crt, commercial.key) 
to another server and attempt to get to it via a browser, I get an error that 
the key is not trusted and is for *.domain.com and domain.com.  This isn't the 
exact error but I hope you understand whats going on.

This leads me to think that I must export the key(s) from my working server and 
import to another server(s).

Both servers are Apache servers with openssl installed so I have the command 
suite available to use.

When viewing my cert, it looks like this;

Subject:        /O=*.domain.com/OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.domain.com
Issuer: /C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=GoDaddy.com, 
Inc./OU=http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/CN=Go Daddy Secure 
Certification Authority/serialNumber=########
Validation Days:        start date - end date
Subject Alternative Name:       *.domain.com, domain.com

I removed the serial, domain name and dates.
 
So what is it that I must do, export a private key in a particular format?

Thanks in advance,

- aurf
