Whoops, a little bad information there. My fault. I had forgotten that `make certificate` was a thing to generate a _test_ certificate (Snake Oil), not a real certificate. To generate a real CSR under Apache 2.0.28 is the same as in Apache 1.3, because you do it all with OpenSSL directly. See http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#cert-real . Thanks, Cliff PS: I checked with the group, and it looks like `make certificate` is _unlikely_ to be in Apache 2.0 final because we're trying to get rid of test pages (ie "It Worked!") and test certificates and the like because they are very confusing to end users. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
