BTW, I got this from Verisign today in response to my complaint about not
supporting apache-SSL (my email to them made it very clear that I was
complaining about not being able to use apache-SSL and having to use

Hello,

We do support Apache-SSL.  Please go to
http://digitalid.verisign.com/server_ids.html.  You will need to select
C2NET(Apache-SSL-US).

Thank you for using VeriSign's Digital ID Services.
