This is the ssl.key/ directory of Apache/mod_ssl
where PEM-encoded RSA Private Keys for SSL are stored.
Per default the following files are provided:
o server.key:
This is the server private key for Apache/mod_ssl, configured with the
SSLCertificateKeyFile directive. Per default this is a dummy file, but may
be overwritten by the `make certificate' target under built-time.
o snakeoil.key:
This is the private key of the _DEMONSTRATION ONLY_ `Snake Oil' Server. It
corresponds to the dummy server certificate ../ssl.crt/snakeoil.crt. NEVER
USE THIS PRIVATE KEY YOURSELF FOR REAL LIFE! INSTEAD USE A REAL SERVER KEY!
o snakeoil-ca.key:
This is the private key of the _DEMONSTRATION ONLY_ `Snake Oil' Certificate
Authority. It is used to sign the ../ssl.crt/server.crt on `make
certificate' because self-signed server certificates are not accepted by
all browsers. NEVER USE THIS PRIVATE KEY YOURSELF FOR REAL LIFE! INSTEAD
EITHER USE A PUBLICALLY KNOWN CA OR CREATE YOUR OWN CA!
You can view the ingredients of a particular private key file in plain text
by running the command (a pass phrase may be queried):
$ openssl rsa -noout -text -in <name>.key
