Alright i have solved the issue. As mike said it asks for the password for the private key, but the issue is with the interface... is says: "Please enter your credentials." And I interpreted this as the CA operator password.. Since i am playing around with a test install I only have 2 character password, which is 'ca'. When i entered 'ca' as password it creates the private key, but it shouldnt.. since openssl dont accept passwords shorter than 4 character. When i tried to decrypt the private key using openssl command with the password 'ca' it get this error:
5853:error:28069065:lib(40):UI_set_result:result too small:ui_lib.c:849:You must type in 4 to 8191 characters So i couldnt decrypt the private key, which confirmed my wrong thoughts that it has another password set by openca. This should be fixed. First the interface so its clearer you are inputting the private key password, and that it should say minimum 4 character long password. 2008/9/16 Yildirim Zaynal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The password prompted is the CA operator password, so its not the > password for the cakey.
