BTW: here's where to do this with Snow Leopard and Lion OS 10.6 10.7+ , although this is for creating self signed certificates only, not as your own CA (certificate authority):

Configure SSL on Lion's Apache http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/25434/configuring-ssl-with-apache-under-lion

...otherwise, the above instructions generate the following error on Lion's apache:

bash-3.2# /System/Library/OpenSSL/misc/CA.pl -signreq
Using configuration from /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf



Error opening CA private key ./demoCA/private/cakey.pem
16021:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-44/src/crypto/bio/bss_file.c:356:fopen('./demoCA/private/cakey.pem','r')
16021:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-44/src/crypto/bio/bss_file.c:358:
unable to load CA private key
Signed certificate is in newcert.pem

(the signed certificate it claims that it makes after all of those errors is, in fact, not valid nor legitimate. it has no functionality and is neither signed nor certified.
