However, don't want to actually use those for anything. The SSL howto at tldp.org details how to create your own certificated authority, create a certificate request and then generate and self-sign the certificate. If you are setting this up for personal use, that is all you need. If this is some sort of e-commerce or other site where users will be thrown off by an untrusted CA notification in their browsers, then you will need to buy a certificate. > How do I specify http:80 and https:443? > Using Listen directives.
