Why did you concatenate the server.key and the server.csr? Why don't you use
the csr to produce the certificate???

because all the examples in the http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509.html# use .pem files im just following the tutorials i can find on the web and the man pages... if ive read them wrong its cause im not 100% sure of what im doing

so in place of the pem file counld i just use...

/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl x509 -req -in ./server.csr -CA ./cacert.pem
-CAkey ./private/cakey.pem -CAserial ./serial -out ./ronanscert.pem

would this give me what i need???

Betreff: CSR signing


ok so ive generated a CSR and key using...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
..++++++
......++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

[...]

then i did

cat server.key server.csr > rtest.pem

is this right??

then...

/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl x509 -req -in ./rtest.pem -CA ./cacert.pem -CAkey ./private/cakey.pem -CAserial ./serial -out ./ronanscert.pem

to sign the pem with my own CA root Cert

now when i  cat ronanscert.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[snip]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

this so far looks good right????

now i need the cert for a windows box so i need to pkcs12 it

what is the private key i need to put in the file ronanscert.pem?? is it the one i geretaed for the server or is it the CA root key???

im a bit confused...
i know this is gonna be very simple for some of you but im still pickin this up...


any help is much appreciated!
