So I have OpenSSL installed. I am creating the SSL certificate to use
for my mail server via
TLS. When I am on Verisign's website, they ask for "Server Platform"
and normally I would
select "Apache" but I don't have "Apache" installed on this machine. I
just want to use this
SSL certificate for TLS authentication and nothing more.

I must determine what option I need to select for "Server Platform"
and then generate a
CSR (Certificate Signing Request) on the Verisign website in order to
get a public key.

Am I doing this all wrong or do I simply need to pick anything under
"Server Platform"?
