Hello,
While trying to find out a solution to the following problem, someone
suggested me to advise you with the issue.
I tried to generate a ssl key following this instruction in the handbook:
# openssl gendsa -des3 -out \
myca.key 1024
That command generated the following result:
1024: No such file or directory
547:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
directory:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/bio/bss_file.c:276:fopen('1024','r')
547:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system
lib:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/bio/bss_file.c:278:
After searching a bit I found out that I had to generate a RSA key
prealably with this command:
openssl dsaparam -rand -genkey -out myRSA.key 1024
Then by modifying the first command:
openssl gendsa -des3 -out myca.key myRSA.key
I was able to generate a key correctly.
I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE.
Mathieu
