Issuing SSL Server Certificate with NSS - dogtagpki/pki GitHub Wiki
This page describes the process to sign the SSL server CSR and issue the certificate using NSS.
This page assumes an NSS database has been created as follows:
$ echo Secret.123 > password.txt $ openssl rand -out noise.bin 2048 $ mkdir nssdb $ certutil -N -d nssdb -f password.txt
It also assumes a CA signing certificate is present in the NSS database.
Sign the CSR with the CA signing certificate with the following commands:
$ CA_SKID=...
$ OCSP=...
$ echo -e "y\n\ny\ny\n${CA_SKID}\n\n\n\n2\n7\n${OCSP}\n\n\n\n" | \
certutil -C \
-d nssdb \
-f password.txt \
-m $RANDOM \
-a \
-i sslserver.csr \
-o sslserver.crt \
-c "ca_signing" \
-3 \
--extAIA \
--keyUsage critical,dataEncipherment,keyEncipherment,digitalSignature \
--extKeyUsage serverAuth
It will generate the SSL server certificate in sslserver.crt.
$ openssl x509 -text -noout -in sslserver.crt
