Yes you can delete it that way. You need to be sure you give the command on the right directory.

Eric beat me with the typing speed.

Hi,

it still doesn't get deleted. $dir/cacert.pem still remains.

EricTRA · 08-02-2010, 03:55 AM

Hello,

Are you logged in as root or as regular user? If regular user try executing the command with sudo?

Code:

sudo rm -r /etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm

Kind regards,

Eric

Xanios · 08-02-2010, 04:02 AM

still can't.

Code:

xanios@ubuntu:~$ sudo rm -r /etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm
[sudo] password for xanios: 
rm: cannot remove `/etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm': No such file or directory

does it mean i have to delete it using this:

Code:

sudo rm -r /etc/ssl/CA/$dir/cacert.pem

That is what I said. You need to be sure of the location of the certificate and at which location you give the command. It says there is no file you are trying to delete. Either the location is incorrect or the filename. verify both.

Hi,

When i first created the CA Certificate, i issued the command at home directory:

Code:

xanios@ubuntu:~$ /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca

i supposed that is called home directory. so by right when i delete the certificate from the same home directory, it should work.

EricTRA · 08-02-2010, 04:21 AM

Hello,

When you create a certificate with OpenSSL it uses the /etc/ssl/openssl.conf file to get the preferences. Did you check that file as I posted for the location of where the CA certificate will be saved? Check the directory as linuxlover.chaitanya indicated:

Code:

ls -al /etc/ssl/CA

to see if the file exists.

One thing comes to mind. When you executed the command did you accept the default or did you provide a name for the certificate? The first question when you run

Code:

/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca

is to provide a filename or press enter to create.

If you typed a name for the certificate then of course cacert will not exist. Post the output of the command typed above to see what's in that directory.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Code:

xaniosg@ubuntu:~$ sudo ls -al /etc/ssl/CA
[sudo] password for xanios: 
ls: cannot access /etc/ssl/CA: No such file or directory

I did not provide a name for the certificate, i just press 'enter'. So it's the default one.

Code:

[ CA_default ]
dir		= ./demoCA		# Where everything is kept
certificate	= $dir/cacert.pem <<	# The CA certificate

linuxlover.chaitanya · 08-02-2010, 04:36 AM

Your directory where certificate is located is demoCA

Xanios · 08-02-2010, 04:40 AM

Hello,

Okay thanks, didn't notice it.

So i should go into demoCA first and delete the file which is:

Code:

xanios@ubuntu:~$ cd demoCA
xanios@ubuntu:~/demoCA$ sudo rm -r /etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm
[sudo] password for xanios: 
rm: cannot remove `/etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm': No such file or directory

cd [something] is to go into a directory right.
but why they still give me 'cannot remove...'
Sorry, quite new in linux

EricTRA · 08-02-2010, 04:42 AM

Hi,

Beaten by linuxlover.chaitanya this time

As indicated before, the openssl.conf file holds your default configuration and it says it's saving in ./demoCA. This means that where you execute the command to create the certificate, that's where a directory demoCA will be created holding your certificate files.

Since you executed the command in your home directory you should have that demoCA directory there.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

When in the demoCA directory type:

Code:

ls -al

and post the output here.

Kind regards,

Eric

EricTRA · 08-02-2010, 04:45 AM

Oops,

Just noticed:

When you're in the demoCA dir just type:

Code:

sudo rm -r cacert.pem

and not

Code:

sudo rm -r /etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pm

Kind regards,

Eric

You are still deleting the file from /etc/ssl/CA directory. You need to delete file from demoCA directory.

cd to demoCA with
cd demoCA and now
rm -v cacert.pem
