Hi,
Does anyone have a pointer to correct documantation for generating and installing a self signed ssl cert for use on httpd on a C-5 machine?
The docs say to use genkey but AFAIK upstream rm'd crypto-utils from the distro and as such it is not available. I tried generating the cert on a C-4 machine using genkey and installing on the C-5 machine but I get the following error when I try to connect:

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong here? Google is not being helpful and I am getting frustrated. I wish I better understood open ssl. :-(

You might find a bunch of guides online that give you ways to do it using openssl, but C5 has a Makefile already set up to do this for you. Steps: 1. cd /etc/pki/tls/certs 2. make testcert 3. restart apache
The default ssl.conf file points to the localhost.* files that are generated by this command.
