Your mileage may vary, but since it is not a completely straightforward process I thought I would share some very straightforward instructions for how to turn on SSL if you so desire.

These are the steps that I used to install a certificate on Version Cue CS4. All of these commands were done from terminal on a Mac running leopard. But the same commands should work if you install openSSL on Windows.

Create private key in PEM format without encryption

      openssl rsa \-in openssl_key.pem \-inform pem \-out openssl_key.der \-outform
      derwriting RSA key




Generate CSR (certificate signing request) to submit to an online certificate authority such
as Verisign or Thawte or to be signed by an internal certificate authority such as
Microsoft certificate server.

      openssl req \-out orca.csr \-key openssl_key.pem \-new




You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

-----

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:STATE NAME SPELLED OUT WITHOUT ABBREVIATIONS
Locality Name (eg, city) []: ENTER CITY NAME
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: ENTER COMPANY NAME
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: ENTER DEPARTMENT (OPTIONAL)
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: ENTER FQDN (eg: server.example.com)
Email Address []:ENTER E-MAIL ADDRESS

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request

A challenge password []: LEAVE BLANK
An optional company name []: LEAVE BLANK

Use the CSR file that is generated and submit it to a certificate authority. I used my Microsoft certificate server CA and downloaded a BASE64 encoded DER. That is the first file you need to import into version cue.

Convert private key to PKCS#8 format without encryption to import into Version Cue CS4. This is the private key in the appropriate format to use in version cue.

openssl pkcs8 \-topk8 \-in openssl_key.pem \-inform pem \-out openssl_key_pk8.pem \-outform pem \-nocrypt
