I tried :
./openssl genrsa -des -out ca.key 2048
After I changed MIN for passphrase to 0 in openssl.cnf
No luck.
It still asks for passphrase and seeks a minimum of 4 chars. Since I
wondered where this 4 came from, I looked around.
I might be wrong, but it seems to make a call to pem_lib.c in which the MIN
is defined to be 4 !
In crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:
#define MIN_LENGTH 4
Is there any way to not have openssl genrsa invoke pem_lib for passphrase
encryption at all ?
Thanks,
Sandipan
PS. My apologies to users of the mailing list who were hit with read receipt
requests. I am new to openssl-users and did not know it doesnt filter out
the request for disposition notification. I am now shutting off the request
flag on my OE5.5 before posting.
