Hi Dinesh & All, > Now the different files u need to create for setting up the CA, >
ok, I think understand the purpose of the files cacert.pem (public key), private/cakey.pem (private key), index.txt and serial. What I don't understand is what files require signing and what to do with the private keys that are created as a result of a request. I have seen many examples which differ. For example some examples take the root CA public and private keys and concatenate them before signing them both. What is the reason for this? In addition I am not sure what is involved in creating a certificate for the client. I have more questions but I'll leave these for now. TIA, Mark. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
