Cheers Jamie - that explains it!

Glad I wasn't missing the obvious.

Hi Frank,
There is actually a bug in the current version of Webmin that prevents
custom SSL cert sizes from working - instead, it always uses the
default. However, the upcoming 1.260 version will fix this bug.

Subj:  [webmin-l] Generating SSL CSR Requests in Webmin

     Recently I was migrating a website to a Webmin managed  box and had
to get an SSL certificate for the site.

 When I sent off the CSR to the issuer they replied that  the CSR I
generated and sent them was too small. I just accepted the default
(512) when creating it.

 I regenerated a new one and set it to a custom size of  1024 but they
replied again that this was too small.

 I got round it by generating a CSR on the old server  (which was a bit
longer in size) - they supplied the SSL cert and thenI  copied it to the
Webmin server, switched the SSL engine on in httpd.conf and it  worked
fine.

 I've a few more of these to do in the coming year and  wouldn't mind a
pointer if I'm doing something wrong when generating the CSR or  if
there a setting I've missed in Virtualmin or even missing something very
obvious!=20
=20
 I'd rather not have to create sites on an Ensim box  just to have to
manually transfer them back to the Webmin managed  ones.

 Thanks in advance.
