<DIV>Hello:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Trying to install and configure boxbackup on centos5.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm familiar with linux. I'm not familiar with SSL and certificates.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have some questions. I have installed the software I'm not trying to install</DIV>
<DIV>the SSL certficate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm using a third-party as a certificate authority (Go-Daddy). So I assume that The CA related</DIV>
<DIV>steps in the doc will be done with me interfacing with the Go-Daddy application.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The action starts with me preparing a CSR.... I created this file:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://backup.seelink.org/" target=_blank>backup.seelink.org</A>-csr.pem </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next, I opened the file and cut and pasted the content into the go-daddy web page.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Go Daddy than processed the file and instructed me to download these two files:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>gd_bundle.crt</DIV>
<DIV>and</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://backup.seelink.org/" target=_blank>backup.seelink.org</A>.crt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From reading the boxbackup documentation, the next step is to install</DIV>
<DIV>the certificate on the server: The docs say that I need two files for this task.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://backup.seelink.org/" target=_blank>backup.seelink.org</A>-cert.pem </DIV>
<DIV>and </DIV>
<DIV>clientCA.pem</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2 problems here:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. The file I got back from go-daddy end with .crt not .pem. I have read the openssl</DIV>
<DIV>has a utility that converts these two formats. Haven't tried it yet but this should be no problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Question: Where does the clientCA.pem come from? What is this file? Is this required or optional?</DIV>
<DIV>The related question is do I need to gd_bundle.crt file returned from Go-Daddy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your help.</DIV>
