Hi,
I'm trying to generate certificate requests (CSRs) to send off to VeriSign.
Here is the config file (ReqConfig.cnf) that I'm using:
#
#
#
RANDFILE = .rnd
[ req ]
default_bits = 512
default_keyfile = t_newkey.pem
prompt = no
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
input_password = temp_for_this_email
output_password = temp_for_this_email
[ req_distinguished_name ]
C = AU
ST = New South Wales
L = Sydney
O = temp_for_this_email
OU = Development
CN = temp_for_this_email
emailAddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
#
#
I've got OpenSSL 0.9.5 compiled and running under Windows NT 4 with service
pack .
I run the following command line:
d:\sylvain_testing\openssl req -config ReqConfig.cnf -new -out t_request.pem
and get the following output:
Using configuration from ReqConfig.cnf
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Generating a 512 bit RSA private key
...++++++++++++
.......++++++++++++
unable to write 'random state'
writing new private key to 't_newkey.pem'
-----
I can't figure out why I'm getting the second last line "unable to write
'random state'" The .rnd file is in the directory from which I run the
command. I don't want to use the RANDFILE environment variable and don't
think I have to as long as RANDFILE is specified in the configuration file.
Anybody had this problem before and been able to fix it ??
Regards.
