Pretty sure they’re just standard RSA. Generated with openssl req and openssl ca, IIRC. Appended… Are these using SHA1, and I need SHA2? - Chris % openssl x509 -text -noout -in cert/distal-ca.crt Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: AA:BB:CC Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, ST=Maryland, O=Distal Thoughts, CN=Distal Thoughts Certificate Authority/emailAddress=c...@distal.com Validity Not Before: Dec 8 22:59:21 2013 GMT Not After : Dec 8 22:59:21 2033 GMT Subject: C=US, ST=Maryland, O=Distal Thoughts, CN=Distal Thoughts Certificate Authority/emailAddress=c...@distal.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (2048 bit) Modulus: CC:DD:EE Exponent: 65537 (0x10001) X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: AA:BB X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:AA:BB DirName:/C=US/ST=Maryland/O=Distal Thoughts/CN=Distal Thoughts Certificate Authority/emailAddress=c...@distal.com serial:DD:EE X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:TRUE X509v3 Key Usage: Certificate Sign, CRL Sign Netscape Cert Type: SSL CA, S/MIME CA Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption DD:EE:FF % openssl x509 -text -noout -in cert/distalvpn.crt Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: AA:BB:CC Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, ST=Maryland, O=Distal Thoughts, CN=Distal Thoughts Certificate Authority/emailAddress=c...@distal.com Validity Not Before: Apr 8 21:38:36 2015 GMT Not After : Apr 9 21:38:36 2025 GMT Subject: C=US, ST=Maryland, O=Distal Thoughts, CN=vpn.distal.com/emailAddress=cr...@distal.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (2048 bit) Modulus: CC:DD:EE Exponent: 65537 (0x10001) X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Cert Type: SSL Server Netscape Comment: OpenSSL Generated Server Certificate X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: CC:DD:EE X509v3 Extended Key Usage: TLS Web Server Authentication X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid: CC:DD:EE Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption CC:DD:EE % ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
