Looking for a few people who want to beta test my new SSL Certificate Request tool.
By Andrew Pollack on 12/04/2014 at 01:26 PM ESTI plan to open source this tool once I've done just a little more testing with other people. Drop me an email if you're interested. I'm looking for around 5 people who have the time, know how to deal with SSL stuff already, and already have the Notes 9.x admin client on their machines.
The idea behind open sourcing for me, is that I've created the functional tool, and there's a lot of room for making it nicer looking and adding other kinds of functionality.
For example, this tool allows you to create and save "CA Certificate Chains" which include the trusted root certificate and intermediate certificates from your preferred CAs. This way you can just select that CA chain when you do the import and you'll get the right certificates in the right order. One cool thing would be to get a bunch of people to submit common CA chains so they're already created.
The tool is designed so you fill out a few required fields, and click "Create Certificate Request". Then when you get the certificate back, you paste it in and select your preferred CA Chain (or create one if it's the first time you're getting a certificate from that authority). Then click "Generate Keyring File".
That's it. You get this output:
can try those with your tool. I can then deploy the RapidSSL one. Might not do
the Thawte since that involves bringing down tlcc.com...let me know.
we need to generate some of Thawte SSL keys and are struggeling with the "IBM
Approach".
We would aapreciate very much your tool

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything.

The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
