Hi

pass:env reads the password from the environment as set via the secret manager from OpenXPKI. Either your Key and Certificate do not match or the password does not unlock the key.

Hi,

I’m currently setting up a PKI on my infra using OPENXPKI solution and I’m facing an issue that I didn’t manage to solve so far. I set up the pki based on the demo ca config files and tinkered it to my realm. I generated self-signed certificates (namely rootCA.crt , vault-1.crt, ca-signer-1.crt) using openssl and imported its into my pki db following online documentation and using cli tool (readthedoc).  Once logged in onto the webgui I got satisfying status for my certificates (datasafe and certsign) whom are depicted as ONLINE. Nonetheless when I tried to issue certificates I got the error below into my catchalllog file :

I can’t understand what’s the role of the pwd env variable inso far as in my crypto.yaml files I used the default password ‘root’ at initial. Also I tried to set de pwd env variable at ‘root’ manually but always got the error mentioned. I checked that the .pem key I put on the right place is well associated with my crt file vault-1.crt that I imported , which is the case. Hence I don’t understand what did I missed .

Perhaps could you please help me out ?
