OK, since going to Verisign or Entrust is a pian in the butt to get a cert signed, I have created a **PAINLESS** way to sign a cert. This is an update to my old doc on this topic.
OK, here is all you have to do:
1) Unzip the contents of the ZIP file to a floppy
2) Copy the files to any directory of your choice (on a *nix box).
3) Follow the simple instructions and 3 minutes later you have a signed cert for Apache, IIS or any other service that requires a certificate.
My doc includes instructions on generating a cert request from IIS for those of you who haven't done it before. I didn't have time for Apache...sorry.
I have tested this on RedHat 7.3, 8 and 9 and Slackware 9.
Who feels like paying for a cert when you can sign it yourself as your own CA?!
Have fun and if ya need any help with the script, just PM me.
