CA.sh script – The missing link

May 28, 2008

If you following the tutorial on some self signed certificate, you may come across a step asking using CA.sh (line CA.sh –newCA). However most site missing the link for this script. Last time I install openssl also not provide this script.

Just in case you wonder where this script (and google bring you here), you can get it at http://web.mit.edu/crypto/share/openssl/misc/

There are 2 version, the batch script format (.sh) and also perl (.pl). If I remember correctly both do the job.

Hope this helps as I spent a lot of time last time searching for this “missing link” (O.o)

now some word to help google ;)

“download CA.sh”

This will be a place where I dump few stuff as my reference later on. My mind simply can’t remember everything so some logging mechanism needed.
