hmm, do you have openssl installed at all :) ? I had guessed that any openssl package comes with at least a bunch of CA certs.
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"?
