CA.all problem

2007-09-06 Thread Mack Ragan

Hi,

Using the provided script CA.all, trying to create self-signed certs 
on a new freeradius box and running into a missing serial file problem.  
Executing the commands in the script line-by-line shows that the command 
openssl ca  -policy policy_anything  -out newcert.pem -passin 
pass:whatever -key whatever -extensions xpserver_ext -extfile 
xpextensions -infiles newreq.pem is what is looking for the file 
./demoCA/serial which does not exist.  I think it is normally created 
during CA.pl -newca but this doesn't appear to happen with the 
script's command of echo newreq.pem | /usr/local/ssl/misc/CA.pl 
-newca.  I'm using OpenSSL version 0.9.8e.  Anyone have this experience?


Thanks!

  OpenSSL has changed the way their scripts run a number of times.  I've
pretty mich given up trying to keep up.

  Instead, use the certificate generation tools in 2.0.0-pre2.  They're
simple and easy to use.

Thanks Alan.  I have actually figured out some openssl commands that 
seem to have worked ok for me.  I'll post them a little later for what 
it's worth to anyone.
