You need to configure Mutt to trust the certificate that signed the
certificate for the key you want to use. Otherwise, OpenSSL has no way to
know that the key should be trusted.

I imported the key from Opera, well exported it, them inported it. I have

Re: Total newbie Question

2005-02-13 Thread COMPSUPPLIER



you need a private.key and a myserver.key and you will have a server.csr 
and yourdomain.csr
 
you will also need your THAWTE CA.txt which is signed version of 
yourdomain.csr,but this needs to match with your private.key which in turn is 
linked to yourserver.key
 
you would need links in your VHost SSL 
to point to locations within the SuSe system
 
What Apache are you running?
 
Are your Httpd files in Etc/Apache2
or usr/local/apache2
