Re: Dr Henson is a superstar!!! 3rd time request... PLEASE help! Phone cert creation

[David Templar]

I tried what you said, and for the first time the phone accepts 
something! Only thing is that it gives me 2 messages when I check the 
status of the certificate:
1. no name for it
2. expired. The phone says the expiry date is wed 0/0/00.
Instead of generating a new certificate, I used one I generated a week a 
ago. It has been some time since I last used openssl and maybe the 
version I have is old or I incorrectly generated the certificate. Did I 
do something wrong?

I have atached a copy of the certificate I uploaded to the phone - maybe 
you can kindly tell me where I have gone wrong. I have changed the 
extension of the attached cert to .txt as the openssl forum does not 
accept .crt.

Thanks for your great tip! I am now 90% there!

RGDS,
David

Hi all,

I am really stuck and have tried all I can - I really need your help to 
generate a software publishing certificate and its root cert to install 
on motorola phones.

I am enclosing a copy of an already existing cert on the phone. It 
appears to be a V4 x509 cert - I could be wrong though. The phone does 
not seem to accept any certificates I have currently generated. Someone 
said to delete the first 2 octets, using that I can read the file now, 
but how do I generate a certificate like it?? The certificate is called 
motman.crt, but I have attached it as motman.txt as the openssly posting 
does not allow .crt extensions.

   


Its V3 X509 with two additional bytes prepended. IF you want to generate it
just take a DER format file and prepend the same bytes.

However there may not be a solution to your problem. I know of a couple of
phones that deliberately have no way to add new CA certificates.

Steve.
