Trouble with Google Apps Custom Domain SSL

Question

I\'m currently inside the 30-day free trial for Google Apps for business (billing set up, so will start non-free trial soon). I\'m attempting to set up SSL for a custom doma

Answer 1

This was answered by a friendly member of the community and then immediately deleted (not sure why...) but not before I spotted his answer and used it, to great effect :)

openssl rsa -in privateKey.key -text > private.pem
openssl x509 -inform PEM -in www_mydomain_com.crt > public.pem

The above two commands produce private.pem and public.pem, which are accepted fine by Google Apps dashboard.

Thank you!

Answer 2

For me, it was because my private.key was in the wrong format.

If your key starts with ---BEGIN PRIVATE KEY--- then you need to convert it to an RSA key.

openssl rsa -in private.key -out private_rsa.key

Then you should see ---BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY--- at the beginning of the private_rsa.key which you use with GAE.
