Well, I got apache w/mod_ssl up and running on our FreeBSD system.  Now I
have a question about how the whole thing works.  I get a "Security
Failure/Data Decryption Error" when pointing to the index I have at my ssl
virtual host. I set up certificates (thanks to dpk's instructions) and
everything seems to be starting up okay, but I can't access the site (check
out https://cstore-secure.cl.msu.edu/).  Do I need a verisign account to
setup SSL correctly, or can I make self-signed certificates or something?
How does it all work?
