Requesting browser (client) certificates
I would like to set up a script that will generate client certificates from within the browser and send the csr files to me for signing. How would I go about telling the browser to generate a key pair, and what kind of output would it give me. Also, although I beleive it should not be necessary to perform the above, is there any way that I can feed certificate information into openssl (such as CN DN O, etc) from the command line so that requests (let's say for server cert requests) can be sent to openssl from a script?

newbie question on OCSP
Can someone please help a poor newbie understand exactly what this is for and how it's used? I've tried looking at the documentation, but I feel like I'm drowning, probably because I'm trying to understand the details, but not quite getting the simple stuff,..

re: newbie question on OCSP
OK... I think I get it... Now, the openssl site mentions an ocsp command for openssl, which I would assume would enable it to launch an ocsp response server. Firstly, I have openssl-0.9.6c-engine, and yet cannot find ocsp by me? Is it part of the planned 0.9.7? If so, is there a stable-looking release that includes it? Can anyone give me the basic basics on how it is meant to be used, and if it will work with the index.txt file mainained by openssl's "mini-ca" ca command? Thanks for all the help, you guys are great! Issac PS. Can I humbly ask that people cc back to me also? tnx __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
