Hi Oleg,

I got my CA working, but only by reinstalling it. I don�t know what
exactly the problem was but here is what I know:

I added several log entries to the crypto-utils.lib to trace the issuing
process. What I found was that when the CA tried to compare the enddate
of the certificate to be issues with the CA's root cert it got stuck.
That was cause by the cryptoshell which returned nothing when asked for
the enddate of the root cert.
The perl interpreter got stuck when trying to reformat the given
enddate. It didn't cause any error and nothing was logged anywhere
(including the apache error logs), perl just got stuck.
When I looked for the openssl perl lib I found 2 of them. I don�t know
exactly where the other perl lib came from. Maybe a leftover from the
snapshot isntallation I had before or, more likely, it was the lib from
the openCA-perl packages which are part of suse 8.2. don�t know why my
ca always used the wrong one.
Anyway, I removed the suse packages and also removed all openCA files
and reinstalled it (since I didn�t clean after installing I just had to
do make install-ca again) and now it works fine.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
did you get a reply from anyone? I'm having the exact problem. You help
would be appretiated! Thanks Oleg


Hello,
 
 I've installed openCA 0.9.1-3 on suse 8.2 with apache 1.3 and following
module versions:  Module Version 
 OpenSSL  0.9.91  
 Tools  0.4.3  
 DB  0.9.82.2.2  
 Configuration  1.5.3  
 TRIStateCGI  1.5.5  
 REQ  0.9.47.2.2  
 X509  0.9.38.2.1  
 CRL  0.9.15  
 PKCS7  0.9.12
 
 Both , ra and ca, are on the same pc, just in different directories.
 
 I got though phase 1 just fine, without any error but I can't sign any
csr! I tried initialization phase 2 and I'm able to create a new request
and view/edit it, but when I click on Issue Certificate nothing happens
after I entered the CA password. I just get a blank frame without any
content (I looked at the html source).  There aren't any errors
generated, only the usual documentation from
 apache:
 
 192.168.123.189 - - [13/Nov/2003:17:37:13 +0100] "GET /cgi-bin/ca/ca
HTTP/1.1" 200 1929  192.168.123.189 - - [13/Nov/2003:17:37:17 +0100]
"GET  /cgi-bin/ca/ca?cmd=setupInitialCert&dest=viewCSR HTTP/1.1" 200
5657  192.168.123.189 - - [13/Nov/2003:17:37:20 +0100] "GET /ca/pwd.html

[13/Nov/2003:17:37:20 +0100] "GET  /ca/scripts/focus.js HTTP/1.1" 304 -
192.168.123.189 - - [13/Nov/2003:17:37:23 +0100] "POST /ca/pwd.html
HTTP/1.1" 405296  192.168.123.189 - - [13/Nov/2003:17:37:24 +0100] "POST
/cgi-bin/ca/ca?cmd=setupInitialCert&dest=viewCSR HTTP/1.1" 200 0
 
 I also did a cert request on the ra, approved it, exported it to floppy
and importet it into the ca. It's listed in Approved Certificate
Requests but when I try to issue it the same thing happens again.
 
 I already tried openssl 0.9.7c and 0.9.8-1, both generate the CA
keypare  and sign it without any trouble. I'm also able to sign the CRL.
 
 I don't think it's cause by access rights, but I got so desperate that
I  set the whole ca directory to 777.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 Best regards,
 
 Robert
