Resolved: Secure XMLRPC Server / PEM Files

rm -f .rnd (for .bat, just ignore the last line and use "move" instead of "mv", "del" instead of "rm" and "yourdomain.com" instead of "$1") It will generate 4 files. Take the two with .pem extension, and put it on the same directory as the SecureXMLRPCServer code. 3. In order for get running the code, install pyOpenSSL available at http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/. For Windows you may prefer http://webcleaner.sourceforge.net/pyOpenSSL-0.6.win32-py2.4.exe That's it. Special thanks to Laszlo Nagy Enjoy!
