I'm CAcert assurer, able to attribute you up to 10 points
- I've currently 107 points
- I passed the CATS Challenge with 100% (it requires 80%, I did 84% then 84% then 88% then 100% and got bored ;-) )
Misc infos
- What can CAcert provide to you, to increase your privacy and security for free?
- The Education Client Certificate I should use to encrypt my request for an official "paper" certificate (to have passed the test, not a digital certificate!)
I copied the link here as I could not right-click on their page to save it... - I tried to get the client certificate out of Firefox/Iceweasel as it repeatedly told me "Failed to create the PKCS #12 backup file for unknown reasons"
The bug is now identified and about to be solved: #469079
- For server certificates: if using a Class 3 certificate as proposed you'll need the certificate chain file. This is just the Class 3 root certificate and the Class 1 root certificate in PEM format concatenated. Do it yourself or download it from the attachments. Store the certificate chain file in the ssl.crt directory and let's call it CAcert_chain.pem for future reference.
Now all that remains to be done is to correctly configure Apache's mod_ssl. To use the certificate set the following directives in your SSL-configuration:
SSLCertificateFile <Path to your certificate file>/example_cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile <Path to your key file>/example_key.pem SSLCertificateChainFile <Path to your chain file>/CAcert_chain.pem
