I have been working on alot of projects. I have uupgrade to 2.7 and migrated from a single core 1gig machine to a dual core 2.gig machine running 2008 64-bit.
installed a new mail server hmailserver had to get rid of my exchange 2007 server. It ws jsut to big to bulk and was not rigth for my needs in any way. For my web needs a tried a few products before settling on atmail web client community edition, and it all works great
installed OpenSSL for windows so i could have an self signed ssl cert. I have done this in the pass abouat 4 years ago and i though I would do it again.
the download is easy and straight forward after you install the software open the command promt and cd to the directory
[x32]cd C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\share
[x64]cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\share
Then go to [x64] cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
or go to [x32]cd C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\biin
run this command copy openssl.cnf c:\usr\local\ssl
then you can run these simple commands
Step 1: Generate a Private Key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus

e is 65537 (0×10001)
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase:
Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:CH
State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Bern
Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Oberdiessbach
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Akadia AG
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Information Technology
Common Name (eg, your name or your server’s hostname) []:public.akadia.com
Email Address []:martin dot zahn at akadia dot ch
Please enter the following ‘extra’ attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:
Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key
copy server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
The newly created server.key file has no more passphrase in it.
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 745 Jun 29 12:19 server.csr
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 891 Jun 29 13:22 server.key
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 963 Jun 29 13:22 server.key.org
Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
To generate a temporary certificate which is good for 365 days, issue the following command:
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Signature ok
subject=/C=CH/ST=Bern/L=Oberdiessbach/O=Akadia AG/OU=Information
