[BlueOnyx:17555] Re: Bad ca-cert stopped the apache server on 5107R

[Ernie]

Hi Micheal,
on closer inspection it wasn't just text. The ca-cert which was uploaded,
came from Thawte and it didn't just contain the ca-cert but also
3 other certs. I think they were the site cert and the CSR or something like
that. It's a bit hard for me to tell exactly what they are.
