I'm very frustrated trying to get a certificate to work on my
server.  I don't care if it's signed by a CA or not.  The DoD
PKI office signed one for me but I get errors when I try to use it.
I can view the CA's certificate with:

openssl x509 -noout -text -in ca.crt 

but Apache complains with this:

Init: Unable to read server certificate from file
c:/apache/conf/853c.key (OpenSSL library error follows)
OpenSSL: error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_x509:expecting an
asn1 sequence


Does that mean the CA can't sign a certificate OpenSSL will be happy
with?  Do I
have to use Netscape's server?

Can I sign my own key file?  I have the one I sent to the DoD PKI office
but I
can't find anywhere that tells me the OpenSSL command(s) to self sign a
certificate.
I've seen refereces to "Use the CA.pl that comes with OpenSSL"  There is
not CA.PL
with the OpenSA distribution. <sigh>  

Anyone have step-by-step instructions for self signing a certificate and
getting it to
work on NT with Apache?

Thanks
