Hi there,

Quick question.

If I generated a certificate with OpenSSL would it be the same structure as
using createcert?

Would the certificates be interchangeable?

If not, what is the best free tool to use to create an SSL Certificate on
the Windows platform? A former colleague uses OpenSSL but he says that that
is only free on Linux.

Cheers,

Shao

Shao,

Using OpenSSL will generate the SSL Certificate with the same structure as createcert.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

From what I could find, they both create certificates to the X.509 standard.

Quick question though, is the difference using iAnywhere, simply the options
of the ciphers available? We choose ECC or RSA in iAnywhere whereas you can
choose TripleDES, RSA or a few more using openSSL?

Is that the key difference, or is there something else I need to know.

If I create one with the iAnywhere technologies, do I need to ensure that
certain software sits on the web server to decipher the cipher/encryption?

Cheers,

Shao

Shao,

Our tools create X.509 certificates. This is the standard, so no special software is required to
decipher the certificate.
