cannot install a SSL certificate : any idea folks ? Thanks

Hello Friends

I'm trying to figure out why I cannot install a SSL certificate that I'd been given. Using openssl, I looked at the key file that was generated by openssl, and the corresponding certificate file that was returned by the CA.

I noticed that the modulus part does not match. I think they have to match, right?

Key file

> modulus:
>     00:b9:etc ...L2
>     7f:1c:37:f7:...L3
>    ..
>     all the way to L9 
> publicExponent: 65537 (0x10001)

Certificate file

> Modulus (1024 bit):
>     l1
>     l2 
>     all the way to l9 
>     but none of the lines L1 and l1 , L2 and l2 ever match 
>
> Exponent: 65537 (0x10001)

Also I noticed that the subject part does not match. This is the subject line from the two files:

Key file 

> Subject: O=foo, OU=bar, CN=something.com

Certificate file

> Subject: C=US, ST=<state name >, L=<value2>, O=<value3>OU=*.<value4> CN=*.<value5>

Is this an issue? Should I request for a new certificate with the same subject line?

I'm not too familiar with how a certificate is generated from the certificate request file, so any insight into the process would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help folks
