Generating SSL Cert question

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Archlinux 86_64 2007-08-2


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

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.

I think you need to create it yourself.
Problem solved as follow;


Run;
$ hostname --fqdn
arch.satimis.com



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