Summary: No openssl.cnf defined by default causes OpenSSL
commands to fail
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.9
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Runtime Config
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my PATH includes %APACHE2_HOME%\bin
the OpenSSL version displayed is : 0.9.8h
trying to run the here under command :
OpenSSL> req -inform DER -outform DER -out C:\CSR.der -pubkey -new -newkey
rsa:1024 -verbose
I get this :
Unable to load config info from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
error in req
Indeed it seems that by default no openssl.cnf is created when installing
Apache 2.2.9 on windows, I only see C:\ApacheGroup\Apache2.2\bin\openssl.exe
(By the way why the path is a unix style one /usr/local/ and not a windows
style ?)
see related issue at http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1187
and one sample cfg file at
http://www.neilstuff.com/apache/apache2-ssl-windows.htm
see http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html
-config filename
this allows an alternative configuration file to be specified, this
overrides the compile time filename or any specified in the OPENSSL_CONF
environment variable.
I have seen C:\ApacheGroup\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf, so I tried :
OpenSSL> req -inform DER -outform DER -out C:\CSR.der -pubkey -new -newkey
rsa:1024 -verbose -config C:\ApacheGroup\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf
Using configuration from C:\ApacheGroup\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
..............++++++
...................++++++
writing new private key to 'privkey.pem'
Enter PEM pass phrase:
So the Apache doc should mentionn where to find openssl.cnf and how to use the
variable OPENSSL_CONF or better configure OpenSSL and apache in a such way that
the req command runs fine at first try
