Hello,
I need to setup a secure ssl site but I'm using a FC3 howto wich is not compatibel anymore wwith Centos 4.2
Now I removed the standard crt.key and server.key files and used the make testcert script in /etc/httpd/conf to create a new one with the appropriate company name and such.
But this certificate requires a passphrase everytime apache starts and I rather would like to remove this passphrase.
Does anyone know a good quick and dirty howto for centos to create a selfsigned ssl certificate without a passphrase?
Create one with a passphrase as you have before, then strip the passphrase out.
'man rsa' in the shell and scroll to the Examples section. There's a good walkthrough there for removing the passphrase.
