Hiya, I am new to OpenSSL and am trying to create a new certificate. I have followed the instructions as per the FAQ and everything works fine up until the CA.pl -signreq command. I get the following error message: [root@box misc]# ./CA.pl -signreq Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf unable to load CA private key 5505:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:662:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY Signed certificate is in newcert.pem [root@box misc]# Has anyone got any ideas? Everything is as per a default install on a Linux box ( redhat 6.2 ). regards, Matt. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
