want to enable SSL

[neorder]

i wanted to use DirectAdmin through SSL

so i tried to follow

# openssl req -new -x509 -keyout /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem.tmp \
-out /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cacert.pem
# openssl rsa -in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem.tmp \
-out /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
# rm /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem.tmp
# chown diradmin:diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
# chmod 400 /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem

but when i only entered the first line of command, i was asked

Enter PEM pass phrase:

what is this pass phrase? thanks.

nvm, i got it to work, just to set up a password, what is "PEM" anyway?...

Hello,

The file extension :) ... I did a google search and found a few defintions:
Privacy Enhanced Mail
Password Expiration Management

It name of the file doesn't really matter as much, just as long as the path in the directadmin.conf points to the correct file.
