hp apache ssl on hpux

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs,

We want to generate CSR using ./mkcert.sh utility of HP Apache on hpux.

I just wanted to know what are the different files present in the default directory ( i am seeing bunch of files ) as below:

/opt/apache/bigguy/ssl.crt

ca-rsa.crt
ca.crt
ca.csr
server.crt
server.csr

/opt/apache/bigguy/ssl.key

ca-rsa.key
ca.key
server.key


What are these various files. Appreciate if someone explains all the above mentioned files ?

How to configure once we receive the certificate ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi,

The "ca.crt" files are certificate files given by a Certifying Authority (CA).

The "ca-rsa.key" files are RSA private key file is a digital file that you can use to decrypt messages sent to you. This file is given by CA.

The csr file is a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). It is a digital file which contains your public key and your name. You send the CSR to a Certifying Authority (CA), who will convert it into a real Certificate, by signing it.

You can get more details at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html

The bottom line, these file are a part of Business on Internet.

Hi Shiv, You can set your own Certification Authority (CA) for your local servers and websites. Use OpenSSL from HP,
