Key file

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to replace the existing edtFTPd private key and its certificate? I trying to create the key file thru OpenSSL tool and I wondering how am I pass the password to edtFTPd in order to recover the key....Any idea guys?

Miserable,
Odeon :(

Answer 1

Yes it is possible.

You can do it using OpenSSL and following the instructions in http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/keys.txt.

Make sure you generate a key without a password since there is no way to enter a password using edtFTPD. This may be done using the following command:

openssl genrsa -out server.key.pem 2048

How is my trusted certificate to be stored???

The certificate should go in a file called server.cert.pem and the private key should go in server.key.pem.
