Hello,

I'm trying to set up a "simple" SSL server (no client nor server =
verification)
I've noticed that, if a generate the server's certificate with a =
Microsoft CA, I make the SSL work. If the certificate is generated with =
a Netscape CA, it works ok.
While comparing the two certificates, I found some fields in the MS-CA =
that were not (or different) in the Netscape CA, and fields that were in =
the Netscape one and not in the MS one (NetscapeCertType was only =
visible in the Netscape one)...

Could you please tell me if some fields are mandatory in the server's =
certificate? I just want to set up a simple SSL transaction between my =
server and my client (without any client nor server verification)... =
This would help me greatly, thanks in advance...

Hello,

 

I'm trying to set up a "simple" SSL =
server (no=20
client nor server verification)

I've noticed that, if a generate the =
server's=20
certificate with a Microsoft CA, I make the SSL work. If the =
certificate is=20
generated with a Netscape CA, it works ok.

While comparing the two certificates, =
I found=20
some fields in the MS-CA that were not (or different) in the =
Netscape CA,=20
and fields that were in the Netscape one and not in the MS one=20
(NetscapeCertType was only visible in the Netscape one)...

 

Could you please tell me if some fields =
are=20
mandatory in the server's certificate? I just want to set up a =
simple SSL=20
transaction between my server and my client (without any client nor =
server=20
verification)... This would help me greatly, thanks in =
