How do I sign a Certificate Request?

January 18th, 2010 | by RoarinPenguin |

Quick not to myself since everytime I spend hours in searching it again.

The command line is:

openssl x509 –req –in <path>/<certificate_request>.csr  –signkey <path-to-CA-private-cert>/CA-private-cert.pem –out <path-to-certs-repository>/signed-cert-name.pem

Hopefully next time I do not have to search it again hours and hours ;)

Naturally this command required to have created the request before, and to have correctly setup the CA… but there is documentation on the ‘Net concerning these two operations.
