I have a working config for an https accel setup, but I have hit a big problem. I have looked over the lists and have not found how other people deal with this.
I work with Thawte.com to get other certs for other https (apache) servers, and they have told me they do not accept PEM anything. And I understand that the csr must be in PEM for a CA to issue a PEM crt. Thawte has told me it will be really hard to find a CA that accepts PEM.
How have other people here delt with this?
Here attached is Thawte's response to my request.
"Hi Jonathan
The PEM format requirement is misleading, as the PEM format mentioned
actually refers to a standard DER format certificate, the guys developing
the Apache standards seem to have confused the file types. Therefore since
you are able to generate standard format CSRs, squid should also work with
standard format certificates, even though Apache and squid are not the same
they share the same openssl libraries.
What error message do you receive when you restart the daemon? Please send
us the error logs."
Of course my logs just say Bungled conf file at the config
Aug 25 17:22:29 owa squid: Bungled squid.conf line 62: https_port 443 cert=/etc/openssl/certs/owa.clinedavis.com.test.crt key=/etc/openssl/private/owa.clinedavis.com.key
This is using the crt and key that was created using Thawte's directions.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
