Webmin SSL Cert

hakcenter · 10-15-2003, 10:32 AM

I have webmin working with its own cert.

I'm just getting annoyed with its self signed cert, and want to create another certificate signed by my CA Root.

Everytime I use openssl to create the cert and sign it via the root... webmin won't accept it.

Does anyone know the proper switches to create the webmin cert?

Could you show us how you made it?

openssl req -config openssl.cnf -new -out my-server.csr
openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out my-server.key

then have the CA Root (unfortunatly is a 2k DC) sign the csr

And then webmin complains that its not pem format...

Can you verify the returned cert is a PEM format cert or something else, like PKCS?
If it is PKCS, then you could try this:
openssl pkcs7 -text -inform PEM -in <DCsignedkey> -print_certs > my-server.crt
cat my-server.key > my-server.pem; cat my-server.crt >>my-server.pem
then strip the PEM leaving the 1st private key and the last certificate.

The key only comes in DER or base64 format from the CA Root

Anyhow your commands have helped, I got it working, and its being a whore now saying that the name 'doesn't' match..

Even though it actually does, damn webmin, lol.
