Hi, I've got a problem:
I installed OpenSSL to generate a certificate but when I want to make a request with a command:
-openssl req -new -out REQ.pem -keyout KEY.pem
it results in DOS as:
problems making Certificate Request
4293148761:error:0E06D06A:configuration fileroutines:NCONF_get_string:no conf or
environment variable:.\crypto\conf\conf_lib.c:343:
What can be wrong?
Thank you in advance
Hi Gopal,
The OpenSSL req command creates a self-signed certificate when the -x509 switch is used. The certificate is placed in the file CAcert.pem, and the private key in CAkey.pem. This command prompts for the password (e.g. caKEY) for the private key.
$SSLDIR/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -keyout ${SSLDIR}/private/CAkey.pem \
-out ${SSLDIR}/private/CAcert.pem -config /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
Hope this will help you,
Regards,
Anil.
Hey Anil,
What do I download ?.
Well once I download I think the command you gave me will help me create a certificate.
But can i have a keystore where i can keep the pub and pri keys.
Can you explain whta is the role of the trust manager and then handshake.
once again answer will be valuable.
Thanks
Gopal.
i did the following and encountered errors...what went wrong...?
E:\SSL>openssl ca -config e:\openssl\apps\openssl.cnf -in client.crs -out client.crs.pem -keyfile ca.key
