where does openssl expect the config file
I've been following an "openssl HOWTO" specific to FC2. There is a short reference to a "configuration file" but no mention of where it is supposed to be located nor how it should be named.
This howto assumes openssl is installed in /opt/ but I found it in /usr/bin/ so I substituted all /opt/ by /usr/bin/ for the creation of the required directories and files.
A little further down this howto there is a line to be typed as follows:
OPENSSL_CONF=/usr/bin/LocalCA/LocalCA.cnf
which I thought was the configuration file, I then named the configuration file LocalCA.cnf and copied it into /usr/bin/LocalCA/ but I get a message
"unable to load Config info"
before being asked to :
"Enter PEM Pass phrase:"
it then crashes after another complaint concerning the config file.
Does anyone know where this config file is expected and how it should be named?
Thank you.
