Re: Help with making a SHA >1 certificate

Charles, I am no expert either - sorry.

However, the question about why is your signed certificate at least not getting to be over 1 year in "length?"   What is the duration of the CA's certificate?

Please forgive my ignorance here. I’m really not a certificate expert. I’m a software developer trying to make certificates to use in a testing situation.

 

I’ve got some scripts that I have been using for years. I’ve just upgraded to 1.10f (but there are no upgrade issues that I know of – that’s not the problem).

 

My last test certificate expired. So I am trying to make another one. All I seem to be able to make are SHA-1 signed certificates, but I’m trying to load them into a FIPS-140 (non-OpenSSL) key repository and it is failing, I think because of the SHA-1. Here is how I am making the certificate. What do I have to do differently to make a SHA-512 (or at least some SHA > 1) certificate?

 

C:\OpenSSL-Win32-110f\bin\openssl.exe req -newkey rsa:2048 -sha512 -keyout %1.key.pem -out %1.req.pem -config openssl_edited_win32_default.cfg -extensions usr_cert -reqexts usr_cert -nodes -days 3650

C:\OpenSSL-Win32-110f\bin\openssl req -text -in %1.req.pem -sha512

C:\OpenSSL-Win32-110f\bin\openssl.exe ca -in %1.req.pem -config CMC_root_config.cnf -out %1.pem -verbose -cert CMC_root.pem -keyfile CMC_root.key.pem -passin pass:password

 

Here is what I end up with:

 

    Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption

        Issuer: CN=Charles Mills Consulting, LLC, ST=California, C=US/emailAddress=charlesm@mcn.org, O=Charles Mills Consulting, LLC

        Validity

            Not Before: Nov  6 19:13:09 2017 GMT

            Not After : Nov  6 19:13:09 2018 GMT

        Subject: CN=Charles Mills Consulting, LLC, ST=California, C=US/emailAddress=charlesm@mcn.org, O=CZAGENT_Nov2017

        Subject Public Key Info:

            Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption

                Public-Key: (2048 bit)

 

While we’re at it, why doesn’t my –days 3650 seem to have any effect?

 

Thanks!

 

Charles
