Update CA.pl podpage, and script
Merge the NOTES section into the relevant parts of the manpage. Add the $EXTRA parameter in consistent places (the end) to call commands. Document that multiple -extra-XXX might be needed.

Create a DSA CA certificate and private key:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
openssl req -x509 -newkey dsa:dsap.pem -keyout cacert.pem -out cacert.pem
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create the CA directories and files:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CA.pl -newca
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
enter a filename (for example, F<cacert.pem>) when prompted for the CA file
|
|
||||||
name.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create a DSA certificate request and private key (a different set of parameters
|
|
||||||
can optionally be created first):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
openssl req -out newreq.pem -newkey dsa:dsap.pem
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sign the request:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CA.pl -signreq

The environment variable B<OPENSSL> may be used to specify the name of

the OpenSSL program. It can be a full pathname, or a relative one.

=head1 NOTES
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most of the filenames mentioned can be modified by editing the B<CA.pl> script.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the F<demoCA> directory already exists then the B<-newca> command will not
|
|
||||||
overwrite it and will do nothing. This can happen if a previous call using
|
|
||||||
the B<-newca> option terminated abnormally. To get the correct behaviour
|
|
||||||
delete the demoCA directory if it already exists.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Under some environments it may not be possible to run the B<CA.pl> script
|
|
||||||
directly (for example Win32) and the default configuration file location may
|
|
||||||
be wrong. In this case the command:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
perl -S CA.pl
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
can be used and the B<OPENSSL_CONF> environment variable changed to point to
|
|
||||||
the correct path of the configuration file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The script is intended as a simple front end for the L<openssl(1)> 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 L<openssl(1)> command
|
|
||||||
directly.
