Section 7.4.3.1. Importing the CA

The command given for creating an import file for Internet Explorer is given as:
openssl X509 -demoCA/cacert.pem -out cacert.crt -outform DER

I think this ought to be something like:
openssl x509 -in demoCA/cacert.pem -out cacert.crt -outform DER
(lower-case x in x509)

7.3.3.3. Removing the passphrase

"7.3.3.3. Removing the passphrase

In the first step, we put a passphrase on the private key. ....
"

That's not true. "openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024" on page 156 does not generate or ask for a passphrase. So therefore no need to remove it.

That was very confusing. Something like -des3 is needed!
Ex.: openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

Regarding configuring the balancer-manager:

If using a ProxyPass directive that incorporates the path /balancer-manager, such as: ProxyPass / balancer://mycluser/, you need to exclude the balancer-manager or it is not accessible on the server running the load balancer.

This is accomplished as follows:
ProxyPass /balancer-manager !

You can exclude other paths from being proxied in the same way.

NOTE: "page number" I entered is Kindle "location".

In the example rewrite rule:

RewriteCond "%(QUERY_STRING)" "^user=([^=]*)"
RewriteRule "/userdirs" "http://%1.users.example.com/" [R]

"userdirs" should be "people" for this rule to work with the example URLs supplied:

http://example.com/people?user=jones
http://jones.users/example.com/
