Generating &installing self signed certs in NS 6.x

2002-02-18 Thread Göran Fröjdh

Hello.
I'm running a small Intranet with various clients (Win32, Linux, Mac OSX).
Now, I want to provide access via client certificates which I sign with my
own CA.

Everything works just fine when generating pkcs12 certifcates which are
imported automatically in IE 5.x/6.x on Win 32. However, I can't figure out
how to accomplish the import in Netscape 6.x in Linux/OSX.

Is there a different format for Netscape certificates? And how are they
imported? Would appreciate some kind of detailed howto on the matter but
can't find anything in the list archives.

Thanks, /Goran

How to create client certificate

2002-02-18 Thread Sejin Choi

Hi, all.
I wrote a client/server application that uses SSL, and it currently
verifies server-side certificate only.
Now I'm trying to add client certificate verification.
At the  beginning, I thought I could just create/verifify client
certicate using openssl command just as I did for server certificate,
but somehow it's not working.
My server program always gives an error message that the client does not
have certificate.
Could anyone please tell me how to create a client certificate and
specific function calls different from the ones used for server side
certificate verification?
Basically, I used same function calls in both server and client side to
verify each other.
 But it seems that it works only for server-side certificate
verification.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Hi.
I've just accomplished this by reading the following guide, which is a
"hands-on" for client auth.

http://www.aboveground.cx/~rjmooney/projects/misc/clientcertauth.html

Downside is, that it just covers IE/Win32, I would need to do the same using
Netscape 6.x browsers...

How to create client certificate on TCP client not a web browser.

2002-02-18 Thread Sejin Choi

Hi, Goran.
Thanks for your tip.
I really appreciate it. :)
However, my client/server application is not web-browser based.
I'm sorry that I didn't clearly state my problem. :(
I'm trying to use SSL over regular TCP/IP client/server communication on Linux
machine.
I successfully verified server-side certificate, but I don't know how to
generate/verify client-side certificate for general TCP/IP client.
Can any one please help?
