Hi all. I'm a new user and am confused on how to generate .crt and .pem file. I am using Apache Tomcat with OpenSSL.
I have a domain with a DNS entry pointing to the IP of my webserver. Their support have given me 3 files intermediate.txt -> intermediate certificate? milestone.lobby3.raknet.com.txt -> primary certificate??? privatekey.txt -> ??? >From http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.1/ssl_reference.html I have copy/pasted this entry into server.xml in Tomcat <-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8443" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" SSLCertificateFile="/usr/local/ssl/server.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile="/usr/local/ssl/server.pem" SSLVerifyClient="optional" SSLProtocol="TLSv1"/> So this raises the question where does the .crt and .pem files come from? Searching it seems like this page has what I need http://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/pem-ssl-creation.htm However, that page uses various terminologies such as primary certificate, root certificate, intermediate certificate, private key, and I'm not sure which term goes to what kind of file I have, or even what I have, or if I have everything i need. I can kind of infer that privatekey.txt is the private key, but for the other files I don't know. And they have 4 terms but I only have 3 files, so I'm not sure what is missing. Thanks in advance for the help.
