I've just achieved lift-off with a key generated by /usr/bin/gensslcert. I do not know if this is a SuSE special or what, but it has proven that the ritual I used to create the certificates manually with 'openssl' and the sign.sh script is flawed, or I did not follow/understand it correctly. Now I see that gensslcert is a script, and offers some parameters that allows me to fill in the blanks. However it has a defect where the -Y: parameter is not listed in the getopts line. Who needs to be notified about this? poeml@xxxxxxx is listed at the top of the script... I'm not new to UNIX and administration, but this has been a bit of a tail-chase nutting out the SSL. I've experienced similar excitement with a lot of Open Source software. It's easy to be hypocritical when criticizing other people's documentation, but there is definitely room for this subject to be more clearly and precisely documented and tutorialled. Work in progress is always more fun than writing it down, I know. Anyway, gentle criticism aside, I've now achieved that goal and will be able to show something in a meeting tomorrow. That definitely deserves a beer.
