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? Ivago -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

'man rsa' in the shell and scroll to the Examples section. There's a good walkthrough there for removing the passphrase. -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C. Clarke
