Making SSL-Certificates
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Creates keys and certificate requests via openssl.
|
||||
It tries to keep files, if there exist. But if you change one file,
|
||||
files which depend on it, will be recreated by this program.
|
||||
|
||||
Howto
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
All files will be replaced, if files which it depends on, are newer.
|
||||
For example, if you create the `example.key`, and you run `sslmake example.csr`,
|
||||
your CSR will be replaced be a new. But if your CSR is newer than the KEY,
|
||||
it will not replace your CSR.
|
||||
|
||||
First Use
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
If you creates something a first time, then you are alright here.
|
||||
Renewing and removing will follow in 'Second Use'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Create the config:
|
||||
|
||||
# ./sslmake example.cnf
|
||||
|
||||
This will copy `/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf` to local directory.
|
||||
Now you edit this file and you can do next step.
|
||||
Important are commonName_default and so on.
|
||||
If you do not know the %.cnf, you should read a openssl-howto
|
||||
about `openssl.cnf`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Create the KEY:
|
||||
|
||||
# ./sslmake %.key
|
||||
|
||||
It will create a key-file %.key with a 4096 bit strong rsa.
|
||||
|
||||
* Create the CSR:
|
||||
|
||||
# ./sslmake %.csr
|
||||
|
||||
This will use %.cnf as configfile and creates a key and the csr
|
||||
if didn't exists. Everything in one step.
