Re: Error when signing a certificate
Hi,
I got the same error the first time I ran OpenSSL. I don't know if it's
the same error for you, but for me it was just an error in my config
file..
Look for the foolowing line in the "[ CA_default ]" part of the config
file:
private_key= $dir/private/privkey.pem # CA private key
Make sure there is a space between ".pem" and the comment.
It worked for me... Hope it'll help you !
Regards,
Philippe

Re: Error when signing a certificate
It's ok, It looked serious because of the .c file thing.
I fixed my problem, I just created a test certificate, sorry.

What's so serious here ? It just cannot find a file ? Have you checked
that the file it complains about really exists ? I see it uses a
relative path to look the CA key - maybe you have a erronous
configuration file ?

Error when signing a certificate
Hi , I am trying to do a SSL certificate to use
TLS/SSL encryption with Qpopper. I read the doc and I created a certificate
request succesfully but it seems that when I try to sign it, it crash with a
serious error, here's the output:
[bob@domain ]#
