Hi,

I am generating a client cert for Apache using openssl with my own CA as
follows:

openssl genrsa -out client.key 1024
openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -CA myCA.cert -CAkey myCA.key -CAcreateserial
-in client.csr -out client.crt
openssl pkcs12 -chain -export -clcerts -CAfile myCA.cert -in client.crt
-inkey client.key -out client.p12 -chain -name "Cert friendly name"

When I import the cert into IE 5.5 everything is fine except that the cert
is suitable for the following:

Windows System Component Verification
Windows Hardware Driver Verification
Allow data on disk to be encrypted
Allow secured communication on Internet
Allow you to digitally sign a Certificate Trust List
Allow data to be signed with the current time
Ensure e-mail came from sender
Protect e-mail from tampering
Ensure the content of e-mail cannot be viewed by others
Protect software from tampering after publication
Ensure software came from software publisher
Guarantee your identity to a remote computer


QUESTION: How do I set the cert for basic options only, i.e. verify
computer identity ???

Many thanks,
Ed Harty.
