!!! Overview
!! [Obtain a Certificate from Server]
You can [Obtain a Certificate from Server] with [OpenSSL]
!! Obtain [Subject Alternative Name]
We found we often needed to verify the [Subject Alternative Name] of [Certificates] when doing installs and validations. Bouncing around in [Imanager] or other tools took too long and we came up with this.
{{{
openssl s_client -connect ldap.willeke.com:636 | openssl x509 -noout -text | egrep -A 1 'X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:'
depth=1 O = UNIXAUTH, OU = Organizational CA
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
verify return:0
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
IP Address:10.220.180.80, IP Address:10.220.180.81, IP Address:10.220.21.19, DNS:ldap.willeke.com

!!General OpenSSL Commands
These commands allow you to generate CSRs, Certificates, Private Keys and do other miscellaneous tasks.
! Generate a new private key and Certificate Signing Request
{{{
openssl req -out CSR.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout privateKey.key
}}}
! Generate a self-signed certificate (see How to Create and Install an Apache Self Signed Certificate for more info)
{{{
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout privateKey.key -out certificate.crt
}}}
! Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for an existing private key
{{{
openssl req -out CSR.csr -key privateKey.key -new
}}}
! Generate a certificate signing request based on an existing certificate
{{{
openssl x509 -x509toreq -in certificate.crt -out CSR.csr -signkey privateKey.key
}}}
! Remove a passphrase from a private key
{{{
openssl rsa -in privateKey.pem -out newPrivateKey.pem
}}}
!! Checking Using OpenSSL
If you need to check the information within a Certificate, CSR or Private Key, use these commands. You can also check CSRs and check certificates using our online tools.
! Check a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
{{{
openssl req -text -noout -verify -in CSR.csr
}}}
! Check a private key
{{{
openssl rsa -in privateKey.key -check
}}}
! Check a certificate
{{{
openssl x509 -in certificate.crt -text -noout
}}}
! Check a PKCS#12 file (.pfx or .p12)
{{{
openssl pkcs12 -info -in keyStore.p12
}}}
!! [Debug]ging Using [OpenSSL]
If you are receiving an error that the private doesn't match the certificate or that a certificate that you installed to a site is not trusted, try one of these commands. If you are trying to verify that an [SSL] [certificate] is installed correctly, be sure to check out the SSL Checker.
! Check an MD5 hash of the public key to ensure that it matches with what is in a CSR or private key
{{{
openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in certificate.crt | openssl md5
or
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in privateKey.key | openssl md5
or
openssl req -noout -modulus -in CSR.csr | openssl md5
}}}
! Check an SSL connection. All the certificates (including Intermediates) should be displayed
{{{
openssl s_client -connect www.paypal.com:443
}}}
!! [Cipher Suite] [{$pagename}]
[OpenSSL] supports with openssl ciphers. You can go further and print the details of any of these [cipher Suites] with the -V
For [example]:
%%prettify
{{{
openssl ciphers -V ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
0xC0,0x30 - ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD
}}} /%
!! [Converting Certificate Formats]
These commands allow you to [Converting Certificate Formats] and keys to different formats to make them compatible with specific types of servers or software. For example, you can convert a normal PEM file that would work with Apache to a PFX (PKCS#12) file and use it with Tomcat or IIS. Use our SSL Converter to convert certificates without messing with OpenSSL.
