Re: S/MIME: Using separate digital and encryption certificates

2001-11-20 Thread viswanath

I think the extension u have to use is

keyUsage = digitalSignature,nonRepudiation

Maybe this should work.

And tell me did u generate seperate digital

signing and encryption for the same dn i.e
for same information like C,L,CN,O,OU.

If u did it for same input, please let me know how to do it.

S/MIME: Using separate digital and encryption certificates

2001-11-19 Thread abhay balkrishna nadkarni


Hi,

I have created separate digital signing and encryption
certificates for the purpose of secure E-mail, signed
by a self-signed CA.

In openssl.cnf the section usr_cert is as follows:

[ usr_cert ]

# These extensions are added when 'ca' signs a request.
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
nsCertType  = email
keyUsage = digitalSignature
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer:always

My problem is:
--

I am able to send digitally signed mails with Netscape
Communicator and the recipient's mail client (Netscape/
OE) cannot send an encrypted mail using the received
digital ID, which is what I want.

IN OE however, before sending a digitally signed message,
OE complains that I do not have a digital ID. But then
it is able to send a digitally signed message.

Can anybody point what the problem may be. Is there
a way to eliminate this warning?
