[BlueOnyx:06286] Re: help with wild card SSL cert install

[Jeffrey Pellin]

Hi Y'all 

Just thought I'd mention that some of the files on the web talk about
passwording the key attached to the certificate. Please don't do this as
it stops Apache reloading after a restart without the password being
entered manually. 

I got caught out badly on this when I took over maintenance on a server
that had had this done prior to my involvement. I restarted the server
after a problem but Apache wouldn't start without the passphrase. The
client had no idea what the password was ad it took several hours to
resume their service.  

All the best 

Jeffrey

 Might not be much of a read as no one has really offered anything yet.
One guy
suggested offlist not doing a wildcard - and that may be the
direction I go. Maybe I'll just do a regular one for
webmail.nomealaska.org.

 The GUI has a way to create a request and to install certs, so perhaps
I'll try that first. If it doesn't work I'll try whatever other methods I
find online - not many specific to BlueOnyx. I did install one just a bit
over a year ago but didn't take good notes on how I did it. Assuming you
were eventually successful? Any caveats to share?
