Hello, I am running apache 1.3.4, perl 500502, mod_perl 1.18, mod-ssl 2.2.4-1.3.4, openssl 0.9.1c on a challenge S running IRIX OS 6.5.2. I was able to compile, and make, and start the Server and have verified that both mod-ssl and mod-perl are running (under http). However the certificate I made and signed as my own CA is not working. Here's what my error_log says when I try https: My error_log says mod_ssl: SSLhandshake failed (client 208.8.190.31, server IRIS.ldr.com:443) (OpenSSL library error follows) OpenSSL: error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate [Hint: Subject CN in certificate not server name!?] I'm using a Netscape Communicator 4.5 on a Unix box. I get the message: "The server's certificate has an invalid signature..." Here's how I made the certificate. From apache source directory: %make certificate TYPE=custom CRT=/tmp/my_ca.crt I've tried various renditions of this, with and without the KEY. I've also tried NOT putting the email address in the DN, as I noticed that it was added to the CN in the certificate. I subsequently compared the certificate and key with following commands: % ssleay x509 -noout -modulus -in server.crt | ssleay md5 % ssleay rsa -modulus -noout -text -in server.key | ssleay md5 And the modulus was the same. I also ran following command to inspect the certificate: % ssleay x509 ?noout ?text ?in server.crt | more I'm at a loss as to what to do here. However, I should say that although I have OpenSSL 0.9.1c, I have been using ssleay instead of openssl -- as I can't find openssl on my box. Ralf's website under the FAQ's page shows examples using "openssl" -- but I can't find it and so have been using "ssleay" -- I suppose they are the same utility? Have I left anything out? -- Richard Robinson Web Administrator Litho Development & Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] 503-255-5800 x172 ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to SSLeay (mod_ssl) www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/ Official Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
