Generating SSL Cert question

Hi folks,


Archlinux 86_64 2007-08-2


On running
$ sudo openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key

Code:

Error opening Private Key server.key
6879:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:352:fopen('server.key','r')
6879:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:354:
unable to load Private Key

Please advise where shall I check and how to fix this problem. Thanks


On runniing;

Code:

$ sudo openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -keyout server,key -out server.crt

/etc/ssl/certs/

What FQDN shall I use on "Common Name"?


On googling I found;
TIP Setup Your FQDN
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Setup_Your_FQDN


Do I need to do the same on Arch? TIA

There's no server.key file. Please check if you are in the correct directory.

 

$ locate server.key
$ sudo find / -name server.key
both no printout

$ locate .key
/usr/share/mime-infor/gnome-vfs.keys
/var/abs/extra/network/nxclient/nomachine.key

$ sudo find / -name *.key
/var/abs/extra/network/nxclient/nomachine.key


Where can I find/download this file? Thanks

I think you need to create it yourself.

 

(solved)

Problem solved as follow;


Run;
$ hostname --fqdn

Code:

arch.satimis.com

$ cd /etc/ssl/certs/
$ sudo openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -keyout server.key -out server.crt

Code:

....
..
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:arch.satimis.com
...
etc

At the end server.key generated


then;
$ sudo openssl rsa -in server.key -out server-no-pass.key

Code:

Enter pass phrase for server.key:
writing RSA key
