The private key and certificate are +written to the file \*(L"newreq.pem\*(R". +.Ip "\fB\-newreq\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-newreq" +creates a new certificate request. The private key and request are +written to the file \*(L"newreq.pem\*(R". +.Ip "\fB\-newca\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-newca" +creates a new \s-1CA\s0 hierarchy for use with the \fBca\fR program (or the \fB\-signcert\fR +and \fB\-xsign\fR options). The user is prompted to enter the filename of the \s-1CA\s0 +certificates (which should also contain the private key) or by hitting \s-1ENTER\s0 +details of the \s-1CA\s0 will be prompted for. The relevant files and directories +are created in a directory called \*(L"demoCA\*(R" in the current directory. +.Ip "\fB\-pkcs12\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-pkcs12" +create a PKCS#12 file containing the user certificate, private key and \s-1CA\s0 +certificate. It expects the user certificate and private key to be in the +file \*(L"newcert.pem\*(R" and the \s-1CA\s0 certificate to be in the file demoCA/cacert.pem, +it creates a file \*(L"newcert.p12\*(R". This command can thus be called after the +\&\fB\-sign\fR option. The PKCS#12 file can be imported directly into a browser. +If there is an additional argument on the command line it will be used as the +\&\*(L"friendly name\*(R" for the certificate (which is typically displayed in the browser +list box), otherwise the name \*(L"My Certificate\*(R" is used. +.Ip "\fB\-sign\fR, \fB\-signreq\fR, \fB\-xsign\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-sign, -signreq, -xsign" +calls the \fBca\fR program to sign a certificate request. It expects the request +to be in the file \*(L"newreq.pem\*(R". The new certificate is written to the file +\&\*(L"newcert.pem\*(R" except in the case of the \fB\-xsign\fR option when it is written +to standard output. +.Ip "\fB\-signCA\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-signCA" +this option is the same as the \fB\-signreq\fR option except it uses the configuration +file section \fBv3_ca\fR and so makes the signed request a valid \s-1CA\s0 certificate. This +is useful when creating intermediate \s-1CA\s0 from a root \s-1CA\s0. +.Ip "\fB\-signcert\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-signcert" +this option is the same as \fB\-sign\fR except it expects a self signed certificate +to be present in the file \*(L"newreq.pem\*(R". +.Ip "\fB\-verify\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-verify" +verifies certificates against the \s-1CA\s0 certificate for \*(L"demoCA\*(R". If no certificates +are specified on the command line it tries to verify the file \*(L"newcert.pem\*(R". +.Ip "\fBfiles\fR" 4 +.IX Item "files" +one or more optional certificate file names for use with the \fB\-verify\fR command. +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.IX Header "EXAMPLES" +Create a \s-1CA\s0 hierarchy: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& CA.pl -newca +.Ve +Complete certificate creation example: create a \s-1CA\s0, create a request, sign +the request and finally create a PKCS#12 file containing it. +.PP +.Vb 4 +\& CA.pl -newca +\& CA.pl -newreq +\& CA.pl -signreq +\& CA.pl -pkcs12 "My Test Certificate" +.Ve +.SH "DSA CERTIFICATES" +.IX Header "DSA CERTIFICATES" +Although the \fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR creates \s-1RSA\s0 CAs and requests it is still possible to +use it with \s-1DSA\s0 certificates and requests using the req(1) command +directly. The following example shows the steps that would typically be taken. +.PP +Create some \s-1DSA\s0 parameters: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& openssl dsaparam -out dsap.pem 1024 +.Ve +Create a \s-1DSA\s0 \s-1CA\s0 certificate and private key: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& openssl req -x509 -newkey dsa:dsap.pem -keyout cacert.pem -out cacert.pem +.Ve +Create the \s-1CA\s0 directories and files: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& CA.pl -newca +.Ve +enter cacert.pem when prompted for the \s-1CA\s0 file name. +.PP +Create a \s-1DSA\s0 certificate request and private key (a different set of parameters +can optionally be created first): +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& openssl req -out newreq.pem -newkey dsa:dsap.pem +.Ve +Sign the request: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& CA.pl -signreq +.Ve +.SH "NOTES" +.IX Header "NOTES" +Most of the filenames mentioned can be modified by editing the \fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR script. +.PP +If the demoCA directory already exists then the \fB\-newca\fR command will not +overwrite it and will do nothing. This can happen if a previous call using +the \fB\-newca\fR option terminated abnormally. To get the correct behaviour +delete the demoCA directory if it already exists. +.PP +Under some environments it may not be possible to run the \fB\s-1CA\s0.pl\fR script +directly (for example Win32) and the default configuration file location may +be wrong. In this case the command: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& perl -S CA.pl +.Ve +can be used and the \fB\s-1OPENSSL_CONF\s0\fR environment variable changed to point to +the correct path of the configuration file \*(L"openssl.cnf\*(R". +.PP +The script is intended as a simple front end for the \fBopenssl\fR program for use +by a beginner. Its behaviour isn't always what is wanted. For more control over the +behaviour of the certificate commands call the \fBopenssl\fR command directly. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +The variable \fB\s-1OPENSSL_CONF\s0\fR if defined allows an alternative configuration +file location to be specified, it should contain the full path to the +configuration file, not just its directory. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +x509(1), ca(1), req(1), pkcs12(1), +config(5) |
