Re: HOWTO on creating certificates for every language

I have filled in the  HOWTO piece for Java based languages on the ESW wiki (which is more easily accessible)

http://www.w3.org/wiki/Foaf%2Bssl/HOWTO#HOWTO_to_create_a_WebID_enabled_certificate

This could be used as part of a deliverable for this group. Especially it could be used as part of a test to test client certificates produced by services.
