I'm trying to set up a CA, following the guidelines in:
"Network security with OpenSSL", and checking with the latest
documentation that comes with 0.9.8e.
I've managed to:
- generate a root CA certificate and corresponding private key
- generate a certificate request
The problem arises when processing the certificate request:
> openssl ca -config ../ca.conf -in certreq.pem
Using configuration from ../ca.conf
Enter pass phrase for /opt/My_CA/private/cakey.pem:
Invalid name options: "My_CA"
The name "My_CA" comes from a custom configuration file ca.conf. I've
extracted parts from that file that use "My_CA" (see below).
Can anybody say what's wrong? Please say so if you need further/other
information.
Thanks in advance,
Erik Leunissen

From the custom configguration file ca.conf:
####################################################################
[ ca ]
default_ca = My_CA # The default ca section
####################################################################
< snipped some details here>
####################################################################
[ My_CA ]
<Configuration for My_CA follows ...>
