Hi group,

i have detected an error in the generation of the web certificate for pfSense.

This error is something internal that only applies to the fields that openssl processes to generate a PEM file (certificate + private key), the file (certificate) that is used to access via SSL pfSense and for the captive portal while running with HTTPS enabled.

A normal certificate like this includes the following fields:

CN, OU, O, L, ST, C

In this case the certificate that is generated using pfSense has a duplicate entry for the country field ( C ).

An example of mine:

C = US
CN = pfsense
OU = security
O = surestorm.com
L = gijon
ST = asturias
C = es

As you can see the first 'C' entry and it's value shouldn't be there.

You can check your certificates taking a deep inspection in the Issuer, Subject and Authority Key Identifier fields of the certificate properties.

I hope this can be fixed in future releases.
