+ This is the ssl.crt/ directory of Apache/mod_ssl
+ where PEM-encoded X.509 Certificates for SSL are stored.
+
+ Per default the following two files are provided:
+
+ o server.crt:
+ This is the server certificate for Apache/mod_ssl, configured with the
+ SSLCertificateFile directive. Per default this is a dummy file, but may be
+ overwritten by the `make certificate' target under built-time.
+
+ o snakeoil.crt:
+ This is the _DEMONSTRATION ONLY_ `Snake Oil' dummy server certificate.
+ NEVER USE THIS FOR REAL LIFE! INSTEAD USE A REAL CERTIFICATE!
+
+ o snakeoil-ca.crt:
+ This is the certificate of the _DEMONSTRATION ONLY_ `Snake Oil' Certificate
+ Authority. This CA is used to sign the server.crt on `make certificate'
+ because self-signed server certificates are not accepted by all browsers.
+ NEVER USE THIS CA YOURSELF FOR REAL LIFE! INSTEAD EITHER USE A PUBLICALLY
+ KNOWN CA OR CREATE YOUR OWN CA!
+
+ o ca-bundle.crt:
+ This is a bundle of CA root certificate for Apache/mod_ssl, configurable
+ with the SSLCACertificateFile directive. Per default it's disabled but can
+ be enabled for client authentication when the clients use certificates
+ signed by one of the commonly known public Certificate Authorities.
+
+ You can view the ingredients of a particular certificate file in plain text
+ by running the command:
+
+ $ openssl x509 -noout -text -in <name>.crt
+
