Re: WebStar SSL -> Apache

There is almost no question that the certificate would work
in both WebStar and Apache HTTPd + mod_ssl, it's just that
the private key, which is needed to do the crypto may not
be accessible, or even stored in an easily portable format.

When WebStar generated the CSR that was sent in to VeriSign
it probably stored the private key in some internal and not
easily accessible or portable format. The main reasons to
export the private key are to move to another kind of HTTPd
server (they probably don't want that) or to decrypt the
SSL'd communications between client and server. (also not
something people usually want to allow)

Depends on what the certificate looks like. If you can run this
successfully:

openssl x509 -in <certificate-file> -text

Then your certificate can be used with Apache's mod_ssl.

Hi!

Would a verisign issued certificate for Webstar4 work with apache? Is there a way to convert a private key generated by WebStar4 to apache (openssl & mod_ssl) private key. I do have the actual csr generated by WebStar4 ssl tool as well if that would be any helpful.

By the way, I find this group very helpful.

thanks,
Ezra
