In the book "Network Security with OpenSSL" on pages 124-125 is a list of OpenSSL commands to create a root CA, and a server CA signed with the root CA.
My question is, how would I use the openssl CA command to revoke the server CA certificate by the root CA, and generate a CRL? I have tried "openssl ca -revoke ....." and "openssl ca -crl ......" without success. ---- Here are the commands to create the root CA: 1. openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -sha1 -keyout rootkey.pem -out rootreq.pem 2. openssl x509 -req -in rootreq.pem -sha1 -extensions v3_ca -signkey rootkey.pem -out rootcert.pem 3. cat rootcert.pem rootkey.pem > root.pem And to create the server CA signed by the root CA: 4. openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -sha1 -keyout serverCAkey.pem -out serverCAreq.pem 5. openssl x509 -req -in serverCAreq.pem -sha1 -extensions v3_ca -CA root.pem -CAkey root.pem -CAcreateserial -out serverCAcert.pem 6. cat serverCAcert.pem serverCAkey.pem rootcert.pem > serverCA.pem __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
