Any fields not mentioned in the policy section +are silently deleted, unless the B<-preserveDN> option is set but +this can be regarded more of a quirk than intended behaviour. + +=head1 SPKAC FORMAT + +The input to the B<-spkac> command line option is a Netscape +signed public key and challenge.

This usually +involves creating a CA certificate and private key with B<req>, a +serial number file and an empty index file and placing them in +the relevant directories. + +To use the sample configuration file below the directories demoCA, +demoCA/private and demoCA/newcerts would be created.

It is theoretically possible +to rebuild the index file from all the issued certificates and a current +CRL: however there is no option to do this. + +CRL entry extensions cannot currently be created: only CRL extensions +can be added. + +V2 CRL features like delta CRL support and CRL numbers are not currently +supported. + +Although several requests can be input and handled at once it is only +possible to include one SPKAC or self signed certificate. + +=head1 BUGS + +The use of an in memory text database can cause problems when large +numbers of certificates are present because, as the name implies +the database has to be kept in memory. + +Certificate request extensions are ignored: some kind of "policy" should +be included to use certain static extensions and certain extensions +from the request. + +It is not possible to certify two certificates with the same DN: this +is a side effect of how the text database is indexed and it cannot easily +be fixed without introducing other problems. Some S/MIME clients can use +two certificates with the same DN for separate signing and encryption +keys. + +The B<ca> command really needs rewriting or the required functionality +exposed at either a command or interface level so a more friendly utility +(perl script or GUI) can handle things properly. The scripts B<CA.sh> and +B<CA.pl> help a little but not very much. + +Any fields in a request that are not present in a policy are silently +deleted.

OpenSSL CONF library can be used to read configuration files. +It is used for the OpenSSL master configuration file B<openssl.cnf> +and in a few other places like B<SPKAC> files and certificate extension +files for the B<x509> utility. + +A configuration file is divided into a number of sections. Each section +starts with a line B<[ section_name ]> and ends when a new section is +started or end of file is reached. A section name can consist of +alphanumeric characters and underscores. + +The first section of a configuration file is special and is referred +to as the B<default> section this is usually unnamed and is from the +start of file until the first named section. When a name is being looked up +it is first looked up in a named section (if any) and then the +default section. + +The environment is mapped onto a section called B<ENV>. + +Comments can be included by preceding them with the B<#> character + +Each section in a configuration file consists of a number of name and +value pairs of the form B<name=value> + +The B<name> string can contain any alphanumeric characters as well as +a few punctuation symbols such as B<.> B<,> B<;> and B<_>. + +The B<value> string consists of the string following the B<=> character +until end of line with any leading and trailing white space removed. + +The value string undergoes variable expansion. This can be done by +including the form B<$var> or B<${var}>: this will substitute the value +of the named variable in the current section. It is also possible to +substitute a value from another section using the syntax B<$section::name> +or B<${section::name}>. By using the form B<$ENV::name> environment +variables can be substituted. It is also possible to assign values to +environment variables by using the name B<ENV::name>, this will work +if the program looks up environment variables using the B<CONF> library +instead of calling B<getenv()> directly. + +It is possible to escape certain characters by using any kind of quote +or the B<\> character. By making the last character of a line a B<\> +a B<value> string can be spread across multiple lines. In addition +the sequences B<\n>, B<\r>, B<\b> and B<\t> are recognized. + +=head1 NOTES + +If a configuration file attempts to expand a variable that doesn't exist +then an error is flagged and the file will not load. This can happen +if an attempt is made to expand an environment variable that doesn't +exist. For example the default OpenSSL master configuration file used +the value of B<HOME> which may not be defined on non Unix systems. + +This can be worked around by including a B<default> section to provide +a default value: then if the environment lookup fails the default value +will be used instead. For this to work properly the default value must +be defined earlier in the configuration file than the expansion. See +the B<EXAMPLES> section for an example of how to do this. + +If the same variable exists in the same section then all but the last +value will be silently ignored. In certain circumstances such as with +DNs the same field may occur multiple times. This is usually worked +around by ignoring any characters before an initial B<.> e.g. + + 1.OU="My first OU" + 2.OU="My Second OU" + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +Here is a sample configuration file using some of the features +mentioned above. + + # This is the default section. + + HOME=/temp + RANDFILE= ${ENV::HOME}/.rnd + configdir=$ENV::HOME/config + + [ section_one ] + + # We are now in section one. + + # Quotes permit leading and trailing whitespace + any = " any variable name " + + other = A string that can \ + cover several lines \ + by including \\ characters + + message = Hello World\n + + [ section_two ] + + greeting = $section_one::message + +This next example shows how to expand environment variables safely. + +Suppose you want a variable called B<tmpfile> to refer to a +temporary filename. The directory it is placed in can determined by +the the B<TEMP> or B<TMP> environment variables but they may not be +set to any value at all. If you just include the environment variable +names and the variable doesn't exist then this will cause an error when +an attempt is made to load the configuration file. By making use of the +default section both values can be looked up with B<TEMP> taking +priority and B</tmp> used if neither is defined: + + TMP=/tmp + # The above value is used if TMP isn't in the environment + TEMP=$ENV::TMP + # The above value is used if TEMP isn't in the environment + tmpfile=${ENV::TEMP}/tmp.filename + +=head1 BUGS + +Currently there is no way to include characters using the octal B<\nnn> +form.

The +command line options B<passin> and B<passout> override the +configuration file values. + +=item B<default_bits> + +This specifies the default key size in bits. If not specified then +512 is used. It is used if the B<-new> option is used. It can be +overridden by using the B<-newkey> option. + +=item B<default_keyfile> + +This is the default filename to write a private key to. If not +specified the key is written to standard output. This can be +overridden by the B<-keyout> option. + +=item B<oid_file> + +This specifies a file containing additional B<OBJECT IDENTIFIERS>. +Each line of the file should consist of the numerical form of the +object identifier followed by white space then the short name followed +by white space and finally the long name. + +=item B<oid_section> + +This specifies a section in the configuration file containing extra +object identifiers. Each line should consist of the short name of the +object identifier followed by B<=> and the numerical form. The short +and long names are the same when this option is used. + +=item B<RANDFILE> + +This specifies a filename in which random number seed information is +placed and read from, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)>). +It is used for private key generation. + +=item B<encrypt_key> + +If this is set to B<no> then if a private key is generated it is +B<not> encrypted. This is equivalent to the B<-nodes> command line +option. For compatibility B<encrypt_rsa_key> is an equivalent option. + +=item B<default_md> + +This option specifies the digest algorithm to use. Possible values +include B<md5 sha1 mdc2>. If not present then MD5 is used. This +option can be overridden on the command line. + +=item B<string_mask> + +This option masks out the use of certain string types in certain +fields. Most users will not need to change this option. + +It can be set to several values B<default> which is also the default +option uses PrintableStrings, T61Strings and BMPStrings if the +B<pkix> value is used then only PrintableStrings and BMPStrings will +be used. This follows the PKIX recommendation in RFC2459. If the +B<utf8only> option is used then only UTF8Strings will be used: this +is the PKIX recommendation in RFC2459 after 2003. Finally the B<nombstr> +option just uses PrintableStrings and T61Strings: certain software has +problems with BMPStrings and UTF8Strings: in particular Netscape. + +=item B<req_extensions> + +this specifies the configuration file section containing a list of +extensions to add to the certificate request. It can be overridden +by the B<-reqexts> command line switch. + +=item B<x509_extensions> + +this specifies the configuration file section containing a list of +extensions to add to certificate generated when the B<-x509> switch +is used. It can be overridden by the B<-extensions> command line switch. + +=item B<prompt> + +if set to the value B<no> this disables prompting of certificate fields +and just takes values from the config file directly. It also changes the +expected format of the B<distinguished_name> and B<attributes> sections. + +=item B<attributes> + +this specifies the section containing any request attributes: its format +is the same as B<distinguished_name>. Typically these may contain the +challengePassword or unstructuredName types. They are currently ignored +by OpenSSL's request signing utilities but some CAs might want them. + +=item B<distinguished_name> + +This specifies the section containing the distinguished name fields to +prompt for when generating a certificate or certificate request. The format +is described in the next section. + +=back + +=head1 DISTINGUISHED NAME AND ATTRIBUTE SECTION FORMAT + +There are two separate formats for the distinguished name and attribute +sections. If the B<prompt> option is set to B<no> then these sections +just consist of field names and values: for example, + + CN=My Name + OU=My Organization + emailAddress=someone@somewhere.org + +This allows external programs (e.g. GUI based) to generate a template file +with all the field names and values and just pass it to B<req>. An example +of this kind of configuration file is contained in the B<EXAMPLES> section. + +Alternatively if the B<prompt> option is absent or not set to B<no> then the +file contains field prompting information. It consists of lines of the form: + + fieldName="prompt" + fieldName_default="default field value" + fieldName_min= 2 + fieldName_max= 4 + +"fieldName" is the field name being used, for example commonName (or CN). +The "prompt" string is used to ask the user to enter the relevant +details. If the user enters nothing then the default value is used if no +default value is present then the field is omitted. A field can +still be omitted if a default value is present if the user just +enters the '.' character. + +The number of characters entered must be between the fieldName_min and +fieldName_max limits: there may be additional restrictions based +on the field being used (for example countryName can only ever be +two characters long and must fit in a PrintableString). + +Some fields (such as organizationName) can be used more than once +in a DN. This presents a problem because configuration files will +not recognize the same name occurring twice. To avoid this problem +if the fieldName contains some characters followed by a full stop +they will be ignored. So for example a second organizationName can +be input by calling it "1.organizationName". + +The actual permitted field names are any object identifier short or +long names. These are compiled into OpenSSL and include the usual +values such as commonName, countryName, localityName, organizationName, +organizationUnitName, stateOrPrivinceName. Additionally emailAddress +is include as well as name, surname, givenName initials and dnQualifier. + +Additional object identifiers can be defined with the B<oid_file> or +B<oid_section> options in the configuration file.

If you have to use accented characters with Netscape +and MSIE then you currently need to use the invalid T61String form. + +The current prompting is not very friendly.

To connect to an SSL HTTP +server the command: + + openssl s_client -connect servername:443 + +would typically be used (https uses port 443).

In particular you should play with these +options B<before> submitting a bug report to an OpenSSL mailing list. + +A frequent problem when attempting to get client certificates working +is that a web client complains it has no certificates or gives an empty +list to choose from. This is normally because the server is not sending +the clients certificate authority in its "acceptable CA list" when it +requests a certificate.

This allows all the problems with a certificate chain to be +determined. + +The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps. + +Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate +and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built +up. The chain is built up by looking up a certificate whose subject name +matches the issuer name of the current certificate. If a certificate is found +whose subject and issuer names are identical it is assumed to be the root CA. +The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match +is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA +is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to +verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted +list. + +The second operation is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions for +consistency with the supplied purpose. If the B<-purpose> option is not included +then no checks are done. The supplied or "leaf" certificate must have extensions +compatible with the supplied purpose and all other certificates must also be valid +CA certificates. The precise extensions required are described in more detail in +the B<CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS> section of the B<x509> utility. + +The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root +CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous +versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL a certificate with no trust settings is considered +to be valid for all purposes. + +The final operation is to check the validity of the certificate chain. The validity +period is checked against the current system time and the notBefore and notAfter +dates in the certificate. The certificate signatures are also checked at this +point. + +If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered valid. If +any operation fails then the certificate is not valid. + +=head1 DIAGNOSTICS + +When a verify operation fails the output messages can be somewhat cryptic. The +general form of the error message is: + + server.pem: /C=AU/ST=Queensland/O=CryptSoft Pty Ltd/CN=Test CA (1024 bit) + error 24 at 1 depth lookup:invalid CA certificate + +The first line contains the name of the certificate being verified followed by +the subject name of the certificate.

It can be +used to display certificate information, convert certificates to +various forms, sign certificate requests like a "mini CA" or edit +certificate trust settings. + +Since there are a large number of options they will split up into +various sections. + + +=head1 INPUT, OUTPUT AND GENERAL PURPOSE OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=item B<-inform DER|PEM|NET> + +This specifies the input format normally the command will expect an X509 +certificate but this can change if other options such as B<-req> are +present. The DER format is the DER encoding of the certificate and PEM +is the base64 encoding of the DER encoding with header and footer lines +added. The NET option is an obscure Netscape server format that is now +obsolete. + +=item B<-outform DER|PEM|NET> + +This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the +B<-inform> option. + +=item B<-in filename> + +This specifies the input filename to read a certificate from or standard input +if this option is not specified. + +=item B<-out filename> + +This specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by +default. + +=item B<-md2|-md5|-sha1|-mdc2> + +the digest to use. This affects any signing or display option that uses a message +digest, such as the B<-fingerprint>, B<-signkey> and B<-CA> options. If not +specified then MD5 is used. If the key being used to sign with is a DSA key then +this option has no effect: SHA1 is always used with DSA keys. + + +=back + +=head1 DISPLAY OPTIONS + +Note: the B<-alias> and B<-purpose> options are also display options +but are described in the B<TRUST OPTIONS> section. + +=over 4 + +=item B<-text> + +prints out the certificate in text form. Full details are output including the +public key, signature algorithms, issuer and subject names, serial number +any extensions present and any trust settings. + +=item B<-noout> + +this option prevents output of the encoded version of the request. + +=item B<-modulus> + +this option prints out the value of the modulus of the public key +contained in the certificate. + +=item B<-serial> + +outputs the certificate serial number. + +=item B<-hash> + +outputs the "hash" of the certificate subject name. This is used in OpenSSL to +form an index to allow certificates in a directory to be looked up by subject +name. + +=item B<-subject> + +outputs the subject name. + +=item B<-issuer> + +outputs the issuer name. + +=item B<-startdate> + +prints out the start date of the certificate, that is the notBefore date. + +=item B<-enddate> + +prints out the expiry date of the certificate, that is the notAfter date. + +=item B<-dates> + +prints out the start and expiry dates of a certificate. + +=item B<-fingerprint> + +prints out the digest of the DER encoded version of the whole certificate. + +=item B<-C> + +this outputs the certificate in the form of a C source file. + +=back + +=head1 TRUST SETTINGS + +Please note these options are currently experimental and may well change. + +A B<trusted certificate> is an ordinary certificate which has several +additional pieces of information attached to it such as the permitted +and prohibited uses of the certificate and an "alias". + +Normally when a certificate is being verified at least one certificate +must be "trusted". By default a trusted certificate must be stored +locally and must be a root CA: any certificate chain ending in this CA +is then usable for any purpose. + +Trust settings currently are only used with a root CA. They allow a finer +control over the purposes the root CA can be used for. For example a CA +may be trusted for SSL client but not SSL server use. + +See the description of the B<verify> utility for more information on the +meaning of trust settings. + +Future versions of OpenSSL will recognize trust settings on any +certificate: not just root CAs. + + +=over 4 + +=item B<-trustout> + +this causes B<x509> to output a B<trusted> certificate. An ordinary +or trusted certificate can be input but by default an ordinary +certificate is output and any trust settings are discarded. With the +B<-trustout> option a trusted certificate is output. A trusted +certificate is automatically output if any trust settings are modified. + +=item B<-setalias arg> + +sets the alias of the certificate. This will allow the certificate +to be referred to using a nickname for example "Steve's Certificate". + +=item B<-alias> + +outputs the certificate alias, if any. + +=item B<-clrtrust> + +clears all the permitted or trusted uses of the certificate. + +=item B<-clrreject> + +clears all the prohibited or rejected uses of the certificate. + +=item B<-addtrust arg> + +adds a trusted certificate use. Any object name can be used here +but currently only B<clientAuth> (SSL client use), B<serverAuth> +(SSL server use) and B<emailProtection> (S/MIME email) are used. +Other OpenSSL applications may define additional uses. + +=item B<-addreject arg> + +adds a prohibited use. It accepts the same values as the B<-addtrust> +option. + +=item B<-purpose> + +this option performs tests on the certificate extensions and outputs +the results. For a more complete description see the B<CERTIFICATE +EXTENSIONS> section. + +=back + +=head1 SIGNING OPTIONS + +The B<x509> utility can be used to sign certificates and requests: it +can thus behave like a "mini CA". + +=over 4 + +=item B<-signkey filename> + +this option causes the input file to be self signed using the supplied +private key. + +If the input file is a certificate it sets the issuer name to the +subject name (i.e. makes it self signed) changes the public key to the +supplied value and changes the start and end dates. The start date is +set to the current time and the end date is set to a value determined +by the B<-days> option. Any certificate extensions are retained unless +the B<-clrext> option is supplied. + +If the input is a certificate request then a self signed certificate +is created using the supplied private key using the subject name in +the request. + +=item B<-clrext> + +delete any extensions from a certificate. This option is used when a +certificate is being created from another certificate (for example with +the B<-signkey> or the B<-CA> options). Normally all extensions are +retained. + +=item B<-keyform PEM|DER> + +specifies the format (DER or PEM) of the private key file used in the +B<-signkey> option. + +=item B<-days arg> + +specifies the number of days to make a certificate valid for. The default +is 30 days. + +=item B<-x509toreq> + +converts a certificate into a certificate request. The B<-signkey> option +is used to pass the required private key. + +=item B<-req> + +by default a certificate is expected on input. With this option a +certificate request is expected instead. + +=item B<-CA filename> + +specifies the CA certificate to be used for signing. When this option is +present B<x509> behaves like a "mini CA". The input file is signed by this +CA using this option: that is its issuer name is set to the subject name +of the CA and it is digitally signed using the CAs private key. + +This option is normally combined with the B<-req> option. Without the +B<-req> option the input is a certificate which must be self signed. + +=item B<-CAkey filename> + +sets the CA private key to sign a certificate with. If this option is +not specified then it is assumed that the CA private key is present in +the CA certificate file. + +=item B<-CAserial filename> + +sets the CA serial number file to use. + +When the B<-CA> option is used to sign a certificate it uses a serial +number specified in a file. This file consist of one line containing +an even number of hex digits with the serial number to use. After each +use the serial number is incremented and written out to the file again. + +The default filename consists of the CA certificate file base name with +".srl" appended. For example if the CA certificate file is called +"mycacert.pem" it expects to find a serial number file called "mycacert.srl". + +=item B<-CAcreateserial filename> + +with this option the CA serial number file is created if it does not exist: +it will contain the serial number "02" and the certificate being signed will +have the 1 as its serial number. Normally if the B<-CA> option is specified +and the serial number file does not exist it is an error. + +=item B<-extfile filename> + +file containing certificate extensions to use. If not specified then +no extensions are added to the certificate. + +=item B<-extensions section> + +the section to add certificate extensions from.

Because of the nature of message +digests the fingerprint of a certificate is unique to that certificate and +two certificates with the same fingerprint can be considered to be the same. + +The Netscape fingerprint uses MD5 whereas MSIE uses SHA1. + +=head1 CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS + +The B<-purpose> option checks the certificate extensions and determines +what the certificate can be used for. The actual checks done are rather +complex and include various hacks and workarounds to handle broken +certificates and software. + +The same code is used when verifying untrusted certificates in chains +so this section is useful if a chain is rejected by the verify code. + +The basicConstraints extension CA flag is used to determine whether the +certificate can be used as a CA. If the CA flag is true then it is a CA, +if the CA flag is false then it is not a CA. B<All> CAs should have the +CA flag set to true. + +If the basicConstraints extension is absent then the certificate is +considered to be a "possible CA" other extensions are checked according +to the intended use of the certificate. A warning is given in this case +because the certificate should really not be regarded as a CA: however +it is allowed to be a CA to work around some broken software. + +If the certificate is a V1 certificate (and thus has no extensions) and +it is self signed it is also assumed to be a CA but a warning is again +given: this is to work around the problem of Verisign roots which are V1 +self signed certificates. + +If the keyUsage extension is present then additional restraints are +made on the uses of the certificate. A CA certificate B<must> have the +keyCertSign bit set if the keyUsage extension is present. + +The extended key usage extension places additional restrictions on the +certificate uses. If this extension is present (whether critical or not) +the key can only be used for the purposes specified. + +A complete description of each test is given below. The comments about +basicConstraints and keyUsage and V1 certificates above apply to B<all> +CA certificates. + + +=over 4 + +=item B<SSL Client> + +The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the "web client +authentication" OID. keyUsage must be absent or it must have the +digitalSignature bit set.

Netscape certificate type must +be absent or the SSL CA bit must be set: this is used as a work around if the +basicConstraints extension is absent. + +=item B<Netscape SSL Server> + +For Netscape SSL clients to connect to an SSL server it must have the +keyEncipherment bit set if the keyUsage extension is present. This isn't +always valid because some cipher suites use the key for digital signing. +Otherwise it is the same as a normal SSL server. + +=item B<Common S/MIME Client Tests> + +The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the "email +protection" OID. Netscape certificate type must be absent or should have the +S/MIME bit set. If the S/MIME bit is not set in netscape certificate type +then the SSL client bit is tolerated as an alternative but a warning is shown: +this is because some Verisign certificates don't set the S/MIME bit. + +=item B<S/MIME Signing> + +In addition to the common S/MIME client tests the digitalSignature bit must +be set if the keyUsage extension is present. + +=item B<S/MIME Encryption> + +In addition to the common S/MIME tests the keyEncipherment bit must be set +if the keyUsage extension is present. + +=item B<S/MIME CA> + +The extended key usage extension must be absent or include the "email +protection" OID. Netscape certificate type must be absent or must have the +S/MIME CA bit set: this is used as a work around if the basicConstraints +extension is absent. + +=item B<CRL Signing> + +The keyUsage extension must be absent or it must have the CRL signing bit +set. + +=item B<CRL Signing CA> + +The normal CA tests apply. Except in this case the basicConstraints extension +must be present. + +=back + +=head1 BUGS + +The way DNs are printed is in a "historical SSLeay" format which doesn't +follow any published standard. It should follow some standard like RFC2253 +or RFC1779 with options to make the stuff more readable. + +Extensions in certificates are not transferred to certificate requests and +vice versa. + +It is possible to produce invalid certificates or requests by specifying the +wrong private key or using inconsistent options in some cases: these should +be checked. + +There should be options to explicitly set such things as start and end +dates rather than an offset from the current time. + +The code to implement the verify behaviour described in the B<TRUST SETTINGS> +is currently being developed.
