Open Source Certificate authority

[Jared Ingersoll <jared () cswv com>]

Hi Folks, 

I am looking for an open source or freely available tool (and/or
documentation) that I can use to create 40-bit https certificates to use in
conjunction with iPLanet 6 (SunOne) enterprise servers on SunOS. We
currently are in the middle of a project of creating a QA environment where
we need to duplicate several sites served over https. Obviously, these certs
will need to work with common browsers such as IE and Netscape. Currently we
use verisign to create these certs, but at $250 a pop, the cost adds up
quickly. I'm open to any unix variant or MS platform.


gracias,
jared
