I'm a librarian in charge of a Solaris server. The library wants to
offer some services requiring ssl (e.g. forms requiring social security
numbers). I have installed an Apache web server with mod-ssl and created
my own certificate, but we will need an official certificate to make
this work properly. The University IS Dept. tells me that SSL
Certificates are a big hassle and it would be a mistake for the library
to try to maintain one. They have had major problems with certificates.
They are a totally NT shop. The library has the only UNIX server on
campus. So my question is, are there problems with maintaining an SSL
Certificate on a Solaris box? Or are these problems only related to
Microsoft incompatibilities? Does anyone have recommendation about
signing authorities? Verisign or Thawte? Thanks.
