Hello OpenSSL-Developers !
While playing with "ca" in openssl-SNAP-20000209 i recognize that the value
of days is not printed correct during certification, e.g.:
Using the following command to sign a request
openssl ca -in req.pem -out cert.pem -outdir certs \
-startdate 000212121212Z -enddate 010212121212Z
yields
...
Certificate is to be certified until Feb 12 12:12:12 2001 GMT (730 days)
^^^
Looking in ca.c:
If -days wasn´t set in the above ca-command it always gets the value of
default_days in openssl.cnf (if (days == 0)..., around line 783). At line
1733 (if(days) BIO_printf(bio_err," (%d days)",days);) the value of days
will be printed regardless of a start- and enddate.
The certificate itself contains the correct validity period.
BTW:
Is it possible to modify make install so it checks if the required
man-directories available and if not create them ?
If would make it easier to install openssl in unusual directories.
