Some random apache related knowledge I found useful.

Creating SSL Certificates

Make a key

openssl genrsa 1024 > www.example.com.key; chmod 400 *.key

Make a key and encrypt it using 3DES

openssl genrsa -des3 1024 > www.example.com.key; chmod 400 *.key

Create a CSR

openssl req -new -key www.example.com.key -out www.example.com.csr

Create a test Certificate

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key www.example.com.key > www.example.com.crt
