Title:
Please improve documentation on generating SSL certificates
Status in Ubuntu Server Guide:
Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
It would be great of someone could improve the documentation on generating
SSL certificates for common use cases. Currently the text:
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html
Instead of:"It will prompt you enter the passphrase. If you enter the correct
passphrase, it will prompt you to enter Company Name, Site Name, Email Id, etc.
Once you enter all these details, your CSR will be created and it will be
stored in the server.csr file. "
I would suggest:"It will prompt you enter the passphrase. If you enter the
correct passphrase, it will prompt you to enter Company Name, Site Name, Email
Id, etc. Enter the corresponding data depending on the usage of the
certificate. For example SSL certificates would typically expect the host name
as the Common Name. Once details are entered, your CSR will be created and it
will be stored in the server.csr file. "
It would also be greate if someone with more experience could also add
(links? notes?) on how certificates for VPN's or libvirt TLS are
generated.
