How to import self signed certificate as trusted certificate ?

2003-12-28 Thread Arthur Chan
Hi all. I've created a self-signed certificate for testing purposes. I would like to import that into my IE5 and Ntescape7.1 browsers as trusted certificate so that the browser will accept the applet requests implicitly. Can someone point me in the right direction please i.e. read-ups, howto

Hi all. Currently I've one vhost on Port 443 and while others listen on Port 80. I would like to test the scenario of putting *everything* on openSSL ie listening on Port 443. Do I assume right that all I need is a "redirect" from the Port 80 vhost to Port 443 ? TIA :-) ___

Hi Boyle, I've been debating with myself over whether to encrypt everything, that's a cogent argument you have offered. I have a few questions myself : (1) assuming an openssl encrypted packet is bigger than a plain text one, would mod_gzip shrink it significantly to warrant the effort? (2) and wou

Hi all. Verisign currently has a discount on both a high grade (128bits) SSL encrypted and a low grade (40bits) SSL encrypted certificates. The former is priced at US$895 and the latter at US$1395. I noticed some sites also present Verisign certificates with low-grade, 54-bits encryption from their

Hi all. This may be a trivial question... I have signed my own ceritificate. How do I "install" that as a "trusted" certificate so that Netscape6 doesn't throw the warning screen that I have been presented with a certificate form an untrusted site. _

How does JSSE interact with OpenSSL ?

Hi All, Well it seems to me with java's URLConnection as distinct from HttpURLConnection, *some* data slip through un-encrypted. Oddly, only data declared as "text" e.g. Oracle's VARCHAR2, slip through into the Net in human readible form. First, I thought JSSE is part of the standard install for j2
