<p>Hi Y'all</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>All the best</p>

<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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?<br /> <br /> /jd<br />
