Issue

We would like answers to the following questions regarding httpd certificates. mod-ssl and certwatch

  • 1) how did these certificates get created? is this done routinely on o/s upgrades and installs?
  • 2) can i just move or delete the certificate with mv or rm? or is an openssl command the preferred method?
  • 3) what openssl options would be preferred?
  • 4) why is certwatch not emailing us? is that due to the CN in the certificate?
  • 5) why did the CN in the cert get set to localhost.localdomain, rather than ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all supported versions)
  • mod-ssl
