[users@httpd] Certificate Import into Apache 2.2.0

[Wulf Kaiser <Wu...@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de>]

Dear All,

I have a perhaps simple but nonetheless serious problem. I have build,
installed and configured an Apache 2.2.0 under Solaris 9, and i have a valid
certificate file in .p7b format from the DFN CA.

But: How can i import this into Apache?

T.i.A, yours

I'm not an expert in anyway regarding certs or openssl and I'm assuming  
you've compiled apache with ssl support and the cert you're talking about  
is a server cert, you could probably try to edit your httpd.conf and  
httpd-ssl.conf file. The httpd-ssl.conf file is located in conf/extra and  
you can add the path to your cert and/or key in there. In httpd.conf, you  
would uncomment the include line that deals with the httpd-ssl.conf file.  
The line to uncomment would be:

Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

If that doesn't work, you probably want to convert your .p7b cert to  
something like PEM format and edit those conf files to point to the PEM  
cert. Unfortunately, I don't know much about .pb7 format as the only  
formats I've dealt with are .p12 and .pem certs.

Again, I'm assuming you're talking about a server cert and not a CA cert.
