Hiya,
I just compiled OpenSSL 0.9.6a for my Windows 2000
Professional box, and it seemed to check out okay.
However, when I do the following, you'll see that I
get an error (which doesn't occur when using my OpenSSL 0.9.6 [not 0.9.6a]
compilation):
C:\>openssl genrsa -des3 -rand
File1;File2;File3;File4;File5 2048 > Rob.key
Loading 'screen' into random state -
done
5510111 semi-random bytes loaded Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus..+++...................+++ unable to write 'random state' e is 65537 (0x10001) 1.> ...What could be going wrong here? How
to fix it? ("unable to write 'random state')
2.> When I use the .cnf file, putting in my own
data... it doesn't seem to work. Of note is the DATE -- even if I stick
in, say, 3650 days, the cert still defaults to a years expiry. Why don't
my changes to the cnf file work -- is there some sort of trick or something I'm
missing??
Sorry, but couldn't find any help of use elsewhere... but hope to hear back
from ya soon!
Thanks and take care,
-Rob :) |
