By the CA script, I assume you are talking about the
script /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA, correct?  Whether you are using that or the
CA.pl script, both scripts make the assumption the the CA directory is
called ../../CA.  (Of course, that assumption only has a chance of being
true if you run the scripts from within the /etc/pki/tls/misc
directory.)  If you changed the dir variable in the openssl.cnf file,
then these things would be out of sync, which can cause problems.  It
looks like you might have change the dir variable to ./CAtop, is that
correct?  If so, then I think you need to change the CATOP variable in
the CA script to be the same thing.

Ssl help

2007-03-12 Thread Hillary Marek
 I am trying to set up a Fedora Core 6 computer as a FreeRadius Server.
It is currently running, and authenticating via mac address. I also want
to set the same computer up as a CA using openssl. When I run the CA
script, I get the following output:


CA certificate filename (or enter to create)

Making CA certificate ...
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
..++
..++
writing new private key to './CAtop/private/./cakey.pem'
Enter PEM pass phrase:

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a
DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request

It seems to run finde until that last error. Any ideas?
