OpenSSL Certificate Authority

Submitted by TuxInvader on Tue, 09/05/2006 - 08:09
How to run your own internal certificate authority using OpenSSL. When using SSL/TLS security internally you may want to set up your own certificate authority. Whether this is for a VPN, Secure Email or HTTPS the certificate authority is setup in the same way. In fact anywhere you can control or have a relationship with both ends of the secured connection you can use your own authority. Why pay verisign to add trust to an already trusting relationship?

Certificate Handling

Solaris, Apache and mod_SSL

There is some kind of incompatability between the solaris yacc pre-processor and GNU flex when building mod_ssl. Also mod_ssl requires the GNU version of m4 and will not compile with the Solaris version.
 
M4 Failure 
If your build fails at "flex -Pssl_expr_yy -s -B ssl_expr_scan.l" with error "m4: bad option: -P"
then you are using the Solaris m4. Install the GNU m4 and ensure it is in your path before /usr/ccs/bin/m4
