I just sent the OP this in reply to a private message ;-)


Hi Monty,

It should work on Linux. This is how I once did it (making the certificate), more than a year ago (I know that others have managed to do this too):

====

sven@netbook:~/ssl$ openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
..........................................................++++++
.++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
sven@netbook:~/ssl$ openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out certreq.csr
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----

State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Hasselt
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:STfx.eu
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:Sven Van Caekenberghe
Email Address []:sven@stfx.eu

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request

sven@netbook:~/ssl$ ls
certreq.csr�� privkey.pem
sven@netbook:~/ssl$ openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in certreq.csr -signkey privkey.pem -out newcert.pem
Signature ok
subject=/C=BE/ST=Some-State/L=Hasselt/O=STfx.eu/CN=Sven Van Caekenberghe/emailAddress=sven@stfx.eu
Getting Private key
sven@netbook:~/ssl$ ( openssl x509 -in newcert.pem; cat privkey.pem ) > server.pem

HTH,

Let me know when you get it working.
