Hi all,

I have problems revoking some of my certificates. I am running openca 0.9.1. I had to rebuild my ca and I reloaded my previously issued certificates. The certificates that I reloaded cannot be revoked. Certificates issued after the reload can be revoked. The following error appears in apache.

Using configuration from /usr/local/openca.0.9.1/openca/etc/openssl/openssl.cnf
ERROR:name does not match /C=xx/O=yy/OU=zzz/CN=nnnn/serialNumber=238
unable to write 'random state'

This indicates a problem with the generated index.txt during the reload. Can you send me the exact errormessage and the line from the index.txt? You can replace names by dummies but please take care about blanks and tabs!


It looks like we added a blank or forget a blank at a critical position. The match fails if we created or forget a blank or use a wrong shortname. OpenSSL simply performs a string compare between the entry in the index.txt and the subject of the certificate.
