Verisign procedures for obtaining certificate




I am attempting to get a verisign certificate.

I received instructions (included below)  from verisgin and I generated 
a CSR and received a certificate.

However I cannot find the "getca" or "getversign" programs or commands 
that they reference to extract the Server ID.  I have SSLeay 0.81 and 
0.90b.

Verisign is no help in the matter.

1. VeriSign will have sent you a certificate in the mail. This  will look
something like the following:
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      JIEBSDSCEXoCHQEwLQMJSoZILvoNVQECSQAwcSETMRkOAMUTBhMuVrM
      mIoAnBdNVBAoTF1JTQSBEYXRhIFNlY3VyaXR5LCBJbmMuMRwwGgYDVQ

   ------END CERTIFICATE-----
1. Copy the entire certificate, including the begin certificate and end
certificate lines into a text editor such as Notepad (do not use Word or
another word processing program.) Make sure that the certificate appears as
formatted above. In other words, make sure that the begin certificate and
end certificate lines are by themselves.
2. Secure Server ID PRIVACY-ENHANCED message to a temporary file, such as
/tmp/cert.tmp.
3. Run getca and specify both the name of the server that owns the ID and
the name of the temporary certificate file. For example: # getca hostname <
/tmp/cert.tmp
4. In some versions of SSLEAY, you should use the command getversign instead
of getca
5. This saves the Secure Server ID to the file SSLTOP/certs/hostname.cert
6. Remove the temporary file. For example: # rm/tmp/cert.tmp
7. Restart the server.
