ssl cert gen changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Been working nalin@xxxxxxxxxx to get the certs that certmaster generators to be a little more RFC compliant

There is a repo setup at http://github.com/alikins/certmaster/commits/alikins-devel with the changes so far.

Basically

- change cert serial number creation of certs to start at a random number and increment. Trying to make sue
we have unique serial number+issuer across all the certs

- change the digest we use to sign the certs from md5 to sha-1

- remove some of the spurious, bogus, redundant info from the cert info fields (the dummy coutry/state/local info)

- attempt to set all the right extension flags on cert creation, indicating whats are CA certs, whats signing certs, etc (though, it appears pyopenssl doesn't like this, and segfaults, so probably need to work around that. Probably by
invoking "openssl" cmd line to generate certs...)

I'm not entirely sure how to proceed to support cert revocation. There seems to be very little support for it in pyopenssl. If we use "opeenssl" cmd line,we could at least generate certificate revocation list for the certs, even
if we currently dont check for revocation.
