Generating custom certificate signed by own CA [CUSTOM]
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 0: Decide the signature algorithm used for certificates
The generated X.509 certificates can contain either
RSA or DSA based ingredients. Select the one you want to use.
Signature Algorithm ((R)SA or (D)SA) [R]:
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 1: Generating RSA private key for CA (1024 bit) [ca.key]
51517 semi-random bytes loaded
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
........++++++
..........++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 2: Generating X.509 certificate signing request for CA [ca.csr]
Using configuration from .mkcert.cfg
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
1. Country Name             (2 letter code) [XY]:US
2. State or Province Name   (full name)     [Snake Desert]:Ohio
3. Locality Name            (eg, city)      [Snake Town]:Columbus
4. Organization Name        (eg, company)   [Snake Oil, Ltd]:Ohio Supercomputer Center
5. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section)   [Certificate Authority]:CCL
6. Common Name              (eg, CA name)   [Snake Oil CA]:OSC/CCL
7. Email Address            (eg, name@FQDN) [ca@snakeoil.dom]:jkl@ccl.net
8. Certificate Validity     (days)          [365]:2001
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 3: Generating X.509 certificate for CA signed by itself [ca.crt]
Certificate Version (1 or 3) [3]:
Signature ok
subject=/C=US/ST=Ohio/L=Columbus/O=Ohio Supercomputer Center/OU=CCL/CN=OSC/CCL/Email=jkl@ccl.net
Getting Private key
Verify: matching certificate & key modulus
read RSA key
Verify: matching certificate signature
../conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt: /C=US/ST=Ohio/L=Columbus/O=Ohio Supercomputer Center/OU=CCL/CN=OSC/CCL/Email=jkl@ccl.net
error 18 at 0 depth lookup:self signed certificate
OK

STEP 4: Generating RSA private key for SERVER (1024 bit) [server.key]
51517 semi-random bytes loaded
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
....++++++
................................++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 5: Generating X.509 certificate signing request for SERVER [server.csr]
Using configuration from .mkcert.cfg
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

4. Organization Name        (eg, company)   [Snake Oil, Ltd]:Ohio Supercomputer Center
5. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section)   [Webserver Team]:CCL
6. Common Name              (eg, FQDN)      [www.snakeoil.dom]:ccl.net
7. Email Address            (eg, name@fqdn) [www@snakeoil.dom]:jkl@ccl.net
8. Certificate Validity     (days)          [365]:2001
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 6: Generating X.509 certificate signed by own CA [server.crt]
Certificate Version (1 or 3) [3]:
Signature ok
subject=/C=US/ST=Ohio/L=Columbus/O=Ohio Supercomputer Center/OU=CCL/CN=ccl.net/Email=jkl@ccl.net
Getting CA Private Key
Verify: matching certificate & key modulus
read RSA key
Verify: matching certificate signature
../conf/ssl.crt/server.crt: OK
______________________________________________________________________

STEP 7: Enrypting RSA private key of CA with a pass phrase for security [ca.key]
The contents of the ca.key file (the generated private key) has to be
kept secret. So we strongly recommend you to encrypt the server.key file
with a Triple-DES cipher and a Pass Phrase.
Encrypt the private key now? [Y/n]: n
Warning, you're using an unencrypted private key.
Please notice this fact and do this on your own risk.

kept secret. So we strongly recommend you to encrypt the server.key file
with a Triple-DES cipher and a Pass Phrase.

RESULT: CA and Server Certification Files

o  conf/ssl.key/ca.key
   The PEM-encoded RSA private key file of the CA which you can
   use to sign other servers or clients. KEEP THIS FILE PRIVATE!

o  conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt
   The PEM-encoded X.509 certificate file of the CA which you use to
   sign other servers or clients. When you sign clients with it (for
   SSL client authentication) you can configure this file with the
   'SSLCACertificateFile' directive.

o  conf/ssl.key/server.key
   The PEM-encoded RSA private key file of the server which you configure
   with the 'SSLCertificateKeyFile' directive (automatically done
   when you install via APACI). KEEP THIS FILE PRIVATE!

o  conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
   The PEM-encoded X.509 certificate file of the server which you configure
   with the 'SSLCertificateFile' directive (automatically done
   when you install via APACI).

o  conf/ssl.csr/server.csr
   The PEM-encoded X.509 certificate signing request of the server file which
   you can send to an official Certificate Authority (CA) in order
   to request a real server certificate (signed by this CA instead
   of our own CA) which later can replace the conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
   file.

Congratulations that you establish your server with real certificates.
