Problem creating signed certs
Hello, I am trying to create a signed client certificate, but when I execute the command openssl ca -in req.pem -out newcert.pem The newcert.pem file is created but it is created as an empty file. Here is what I see on the display: /openssl-engine-0.9.6g/apps > openssl ca -in req.pem -out newcert.pem Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf Check that the request matches the signature Signature ok The Subjects Distinguished Name is as follows countryName :PRINTABLE:'US' stateOrProvinceName :PRINTABLE:'MA' localityName :PRINTABLE:'Arlington' organizationName :PRINTABLE:'Brandywine mills' organizationalUnitName:PRINTABLE:'Hobbiton' commonName:PRINTABLE:'Frodo' emailAddress :IA5STRING:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' The countryName field needed to be the same in the CA certificate (AU) and the request (US) /openssl-engine-0.9.6g/apps > ls -l newcert.pem -rw-r--r--1 root root0 Oct 29 22:29 newcert.pem Can anyone help me understand what I'm missing or doing incorrectly? == Mike Cerone, CISSP, CCNA Ad Astra! == __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi your should check openssl.cnf file find policy section and change your countryName = match to something like this "supplied or optional" depends on policy Anton -Original Message- From: MikeCC [mailto:mikecc@;atrek.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 07:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem creating signed certs Hello, I am trying to create a signed client certificate, but when I execute the command openssl ca -in req.pem -out newcert.pem The newcert.pem file is created but it is created as an empty file.

Mike... In the log you send shows: -The countryName field needed to be the same in the -CA certificate (AU) and the request (US) that's mean that you have in your configuration file (openssl.cnf) a sentence that don't let that the CA authority be from another country that the country of the client. That's why your certificate is left in blank...
