texte = Hello! I want to implement a Self Signed SSL Certifacate for my WebServer. It's only for private use, and why should i pay VeriSign, or Thawte... whatever. So, i will generate my certificate on my Powerbook (OS: Tiger, and openssl). 1.) generate private key for the host $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 2.) create Certificate Signing Request (CSR) : $ openssl req -new -key /pfad/keys/server.key -out server.csr 3.) generate Private Key for the CA: $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 1024 4.) create Self Signed Certificate: $ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ssl.key/ca.key -out ca.crt 5.)signate CSR from the root CA: $ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey ca.key -out server.crt What's wrong? I think, step 5 isn't correct. The WebServer (WebStar 4.5 on MacOS9.2) says: SSL private key :server.key could not be decrypted. (bad password?) I'm sure, the password is right. THX A LOT!
