Post Creating SSL cert's using openssl


Hi,

I got an task asigned to me, i have to create new ssl key, csr & crt files using openssl.
But the file name must be of this kind (*.aaa.xx.aa) When i tried the file name starting with * its not accepting the file name.

But when i tried with the file name starting with . its getting generated.

Could some help me in this?..

Thanks

The * character in the file name is a wild card match that means "match anything", so you can't have * in a file name. I would interpret the instructions of (*.aaa.xx.aa) to mean that it can be anything but must end in .aaa.xx.aa.

If you need a primer on creating the certificates, this site has a lot of useful examples: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Apache/apache-SSL.html
