Hi Andreas,
Had the same problem recently - it's due to the -next_serial option
being unsupported in your version of OpenSSL but the CA.pl script
requiring it! The -next_serial option was introduced in OpenSSL version
0.9.7e :
Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [XX xxx XXXX]
- *)
+ *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
+ violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
+ This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
+ number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
+ certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
+ number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
+ rather than being initialized to 1.
+ [Steve Henson]
I'm had installed 0.9.7g without removing an existing version of openssl
(0.9.7d). I don't know if this is your problem but I would try removing
all versions of openSSL and reinstalling 0.9.7g - everything should work
when the CA.pl script and the openssl versions are 'in-line'
Hope this helps

Hi,
What i am doing wrong? The creation of my certificates for EAP/TLS with
CA.all or CA.certs always end with an message like this:

So i looked for the serial file. But it dosnīt exist. I think because of an
earlier message:
