[HOWTO] - Installing OpenSSL and the SSL perl module Net::SSLeay.pm

[mikasjoman]

Well, my expirience is ONLY darwin unix.
About one and a half year playing and managing 10 different MacOSX servers.

And no, I´m not a great UNIX geek, but I have moore experience than the most out there. Still, any person who does not have 3 years of unix experience, is looked as a beginner in the communities. So; I´m a beginner.

Still, I think that my comment was right.

Prove me wrong, but I have never managed to write:

sudo cd somecatalog

in any darwin OS. If I don´t remember wrong, if you issue a sudo statement you are in sudo "mode" for five minutes, depends on how you configure your computer. So you don´t acctually have to write it, or??

I don´t take your comments as somthing bad, but something really good. No, I did not know that you had to have the develloper tools, and I would love to have a 4 click install of it.
I´m a mac person that had to learn UNIX, because it´s a part of my damn work.
So if any of you could make one of those really nice installers, )))))
Scope?

Kind regards

Damned package maker is confusing, plus I'm sick. Give me a day or two, perhaps.

Well, I found a site that says that SSL is built in MacOSX.

And... I found out that it is!!

In /System/Library/OpenSSL actually it is installed!!

Any comments on this, and to set it up, is it possible to set it up?

But according to the site, MacOSX Server does not have it... even thoug I found it at the same place...

Actually its broken, it is in fact installed but it doesn't have headers and it is really easier to reinstall, I am a *nix Geek in training so take my word for it .

as for my cd sudo deal yeah I didn't see that until after I typed my reply so yeah I screwed up but I edited the first post with a correction. I wrote this How-To: Half asleep and it was like 4AM when I did it so I had some weird typing lol. Alls good though.


If you want more info on the SSL installed with OS X let me know. I will tell you it doesn't work out of the box but what I think is that I lot of the technology that OS X Server uses is in OS X Client but the files are broken and we have to fix them to enable.

I will get the package made today if someone tells me where package maker is or where I can download it, I almost never use packages unless its from apple because I love the command line way of doing things.

Well, since I have never ever used SSL, what do I do when I have set the SSL up?

Of what I understand about this guide you wrote, is a how to install SSL, but what about configuring it?

I would love to see a guide about that!

Maybe a "SSL Certificate, getting, configuring, and managing it" guide?

That would be really cool!

And please tell me when your finished making the installer!

Thanks for your great work!

its not really an application, there isn't much to config, things like netSSL will require it be installed. As for certificates, we will discuss those soon/later.

It's in /Developer/Applications/Package Maker. That is, if you have the Dev Tools installed, which I can safely assume you do.
