Hello Friends
I'm trying to figure out why I cannot install a SSL certificate that I'd
been given. Using openssl, I looked at the key file that was generated by
openssl, and the corresponding certificate file that was returned by the CA.
I noticed that the modulus part does not match. I think they have to match,
right?
*Key file*
modulus:
00:b9:etc ...L2
7f:1c:37:f7:...L3
..
all the way to L9
publicExponent: 65537 (0x10001)
*Certificate file*
Modulus (1024 bit):
l1
l2
all the way to l9
but none of the lines L1 and l1 , L2 and l2 ever match
Exponent: 65537 (0x10001)
Also I noticed that the subject part does not match. This is the subject
line from the two files:
*Key file*
Subject: O=foo, OU=bar, CN=something.com
*Certificate file*
Subject: C=US, ST=<state name >, L=<value2>, O=<value3>OU=*.<value4>
CN=*.<value5>
Is this an issue? Should I request for a new certificate with the same
subject line?
I'm not too familiar with how a certificate is generated from the
certificate request file, so any insight into the process would be
appreciated.
Thanks for your help folks
Sam
