SSL has a certificate and a key. SSL is what is used when you are on an encrypted or secured web page.

You may need to create a certificate and key for your machine.... It's been a while since I've done it, but there is a utility that will guide you through it. Once you are done you will have one file that contains your cert and your key, you will need to split that file to use it.

On my RH 7.3 box, /usr/share/ssl/ contains everything you need to create one.

Try /usr/share/ssl/misc/CA -newcert

???? I didn't answer your question, but hope I helped a little.
