Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq4] Accessing SSL Keys?



Hi, I'm trying to secure my site and I'm completely confused with the
cobalt way of doing things.  It generates the CSR once the data is put
in, but how do I get my private/public key?  And what is my password
for these keys?

On my 4r it's a pretty simple process.

Under Site Management...SSL Settings.
Fill out form and click generate self signed cert.
No select the Cert. Request (Not the Cert.) and copy it.
Go to Thawte. Fill out their order form and paste the Cert Request into the appropriate box. When Thawte gives you the Cert, then go back to Site Management...SSL Settings and paste the new cert into the "Certificate" box.
Click on "Use Manually Entered Certificate"

Your done.

AFAIK, you don't need any direct access to public/private key pairs.

Hope this helps.
