Re: Certificate Signing Request & Key Generation

[Dennis Xu]

In your attached file: bash-2.03# openssl req -new -key ../private/www.windreiter.com.key > www.windreiter.com.csr Using configuration from /usr/local/openssl-0.9.4/openssl.cnf Unable to load config info Enter PEM pass phrase: unable to find 'distinguished_name' in config problems making Certificate Request     The problem is that config file could not be loaded. You should update the openssl.cnf by your way, also think it as default file. Then command: openssl req -new -key ../private/www.windreiter.com.key -config /your_config_file_dir/your_config.cnf > www.windreiter.com.csr     Dennis     ----- Original Message ----- From: Oliver Koenig To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 8:27 AM Subject: Certificate Signing Request & Key Generation Hello guys, I have a problem with my Certificate Signing request.
