Dear Sir/Madam, I want to set up a secure web server (https) using your OpenSSL toolkit & am having some difficulty. I've checked the FAQ but it didn't give me what I need (FYI I'm experienced in C, some experience of shell scripts / general unix commands, no perl, experienced in general web principles but a relative novice in security/encryption etc). I (think) need to create a self signed certificate (ie not one from a Verisign reseller) to give to a small number of users who will access our web server for administration purposes. I tried using $openssl CA (can't remember the params as I'm at home presently) but it complained that the random number generator wasn't seeded. I then tried $openssl rand -out rand.dat 4869 $openssl rand -??? rand.dat (can't remember exact params but there are only 2) in the hope that would create a file with random binary data in that I could seed it with. It doesn't work. Can you help? What are the main steps I need to fo through, the FAQ answers specific questions but doesn't really give a walkthru of common scenarios. This would be really helpful as my business project relies on this aspect working. Many thanks in advance. PS. Environment = Sun E250 running Solaris 7 & a Sun Ultra10 running Solaris 8. make as delivered under solaris. Compiler = gcc. -- Sean Gillings Head of Development Publicis Networks ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
