[Techtalk] 3rd party certificate using Debian apache-ssl

[Michelle Murrain]

Hi all,

I seem to have a bit of a challenge.

I'm trying to get a 3rd party certificate to install, and it's not 
working. I'm running Debian sarge, and apache-ssl (1.3.29.0.2-4)

I'm using a Starfield 3rd party certificate.

1st problem: apache-ssl does not recognize the directive 
'SSLCertificateChainFile'

So what I had to do was attach the issuing cert to the end of the 
SSLCertificateFile.

That would have worked, except it has to be PEM encoded. I don't know 
what that is, and don't know how to make it PEM encoded. And somehow, 
I'm not even sure that will do the trick, although it's supposed to.

Anyone out there worked with apache-ssl and 3rd party certs that can 
help me out?

Thanks!!!
