Firefox 3 is annoyingly picky about SSL certificates, which has been an issue for people trying to access my Trac wiki or Subversion repository. I finally had enough and decided to nail the problem. So here are clear steps for generating SSL certificates that will make Firefox 3 happy. I will be using Leopard’s Certificate Assistant for most of the certificate work, with a bit of openssl at the end. The primary source of information I used to determine the requirements for SSL server certificates and signing certificates up in the chain is Mozilla’s All About Certificate Extensions technote.
