Apache SSL certificates

["Virgil L. McNemar" <vmcnemar@hcbwv.com>]

Hello:

	Please forgive my ignorance about this subject. 

	How exactly does one go about getting a SSL certificate created that can be 
signed by one of the authorities in Debian? I have installed apache-ssl & 
openssl, and have tried to follow the instructions on Verisign's & Thawte's 
web sites, but their instructions fail with a reference to a missing 
openssl.cnf file. A link to this file points to /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf , but 
that file does not exist. 

	If anyone can point me to a current, complete howto on this subject, I would 
be very thankful. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

VLM
