I'm using Linux server to create temporary CA and I know openssl maintains a text database of issued certificates and their status. Now I need to migrate this server to another one, so I ask myself how can I export this db.
thanks


the openssl CA "database" usually consists of two files. The location of these files is specified in the openssl.cnf file. The files are
  serial   - containing the last issued serial number
  index.txt  - containing the list of all issued, expired and revoked certificates.

As I said, the location of these files is depending on how you set up your temporary CA.

Additionally, the openssl ca command stores the complete value of each
issued certificate in a subdirectory specified in openssl.cnf, this
may be needed/useful when importing to other CA software.

Also note that unless a special setting is included (I forget where),
the openssl ca database will be in a different (older) format that
only remembers the most recently issued certificate for a given
subject distinguished name.

Enjoy
