I need to renew my SSL cert for my Mahara site and I follow the instructions below. But after I finish answering all the questions for the csr, I'm supposed to copy a portion of the cert into a web form. However I can't seem to find the server.csr so I can do this. Were this file goes?
Here is a step-by-step description:
Make sure OpenSSL is installed and in your PATH.
Create a RSA private key for your Apache server (will be Triple-DES encrypted and PEM formatted):
$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Please backup this server.key file and the pass-phrase you entered in a secure location. You can see the details of this RSA private key by using the command:
$ openssl rsa -noout -text -in server.key
If necessary, you can also create a decrypted PEM version (not recommended) of this RSA private key with:
Make sure you enter the FQDN ("Fully Qualified Domain Name") of the server when OpenSSL prompts you for the "CommonName", i.e. when you generate a CSR for a website which will be later accessed via https://www.foo.dom/, enter "www.foo.dom" here. You can see the details of this CSR by using:
I am trying to create a certificate case user logon via ssh. On the server I have openSSH and a few users. I want to be able to assign a user a certificate to connect remotely via SSH.
Anyone attempting to install Debian Squeeze from CD-1, or Debian-live DVD will want to know how to verify the file with MD-5, SHA-256 and (available for some versions only) SHA-512 checksums of the iso images, using the appropriate signing key. But there are no instructions that I can find in the Debian CD FAQ, which simply points users at the archive keyring. Now according to this message, as of 9 Feb 2011 the Debian Squeeze archive signing key has fingerprint 9FED 2BCB DCD2 9CDF 7626 78CB AED4 B06F 4730 41FA
The Debian signing key website gives the archive signing key as the master key, and (this addresses the problem I raised elsewhere) even makes it available via https. That sounds good! Just one problem: the detached signatures for files such as url
which gives the SHA-256 sum for url
have been signed with a different key, which has fingerprint DF9B 9C49 EAA9 2984 3258 9D76 DA87 E80D 6294 BE9B
No wonder I am confused! And it seems that I may not be the only one; others seem to be confused also.
If no-one at the Debian mailing list can explain what is going on, I have little hope that anyone here will be able to clear this up, but I'll ask anyway: what are all the Debian related GPG keys and where do you find them all? is it true that there are different keys needed to verify CD iso images and debs? (And... what else?) where do you go to obtain all the lastest Debian keys via https? (This is important as it can hinder MITM attacks by lone crackers, assorted crooks, maybe even state actors, etc.; the "Comodogate" story provides clear evidence that there are people or organizations interested in mounting MITM attacks on persons downloading open-source software). in particular, it is sometimes convenient to use a live-CD to download an iso image (for example, when you no longer trust the system you are trying to upgrade!) and then one wants to use GPG to check the file with the checksum, so one needs to quickly locate and import into the GPG keyring of the (temporary) live-CD session the correct key; so where can I find the CD-signing key availalble via https? shouldn't the CD FAQ explain all this?
I'm trying to install an Ubuntu cloud on my home network - I've been following this guide. When I arrived at STEP 6: Install an image from the store PART 3: Click on the Store tab I get the following error message on the page: Error 60: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
I use WLM (And yes, I realise odds are this is a problem on microsofts side) and almost every time claws mail connects WLM returns a new certificate. Valid, but I have to constantly accept or deny the certificate. Why is WLM pumping out fresh certs all the time and how can I fix this?
Whenever this pops up whatever I have at the moment shows "Signature status: No certificate issuer found" and the other shows "Signature status: Correct".
I had to do a hard shut down on my linux computer. Every since then it is not working properly and I get an invalid certificate on every page.I have never upgraded Debian since I installed it two years ago. With my experience with Gentoo I have found that upgrades can be a problem and it worked fine so I never messed with it.
Is it possible to provide encryption over HTTPS without a certificate?
I can't afford a certificate from a CA, but I do want to provide encryption with my website... without a self-signed certificate because I hate that screen popping up on the clients computer on first visits.
I install debian, I when I restart apache2, I got this error
[warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?) [Thu Feb 26 11:53:45 2015] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `Ismo' does NOT match server name!?
How can I modify the commonName of the RSA server certificate?
I've been using VSFTPD for years but i can't seem to get over this particular issue. I'm unable to make VSFTPD 3.0.2 work with a legit STARTSSL TLS cert on Debian 8.1 kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64.
500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate.
Openssl 1.0.1k correctly verifies the .PEM file containing both my domain's cert and the intermediate CA one. I've tried adding the private key to the .PEM file and also using it as a separate .key file. Also tried mixing my cert with the intermediate CA one and the private key... to no avail.
Every file is inside /etc where all the conf files reside (also the user specific conf files). File permissions for the .pem and key files are 600.
I'm successfully using the same certificate for NGINX.
Having tried different approaches to install (and run!) a webserver certificate from StartSSL on an Apache2 webserver, I had no success at all since three days. There are many web pages out there in the internet, each is naming it other ways, i.e. one speaks from server./etc/ssl/certs/server.pem, another name it /etc/ssl/private/server.key etc. etc.
Is there a common-sense description how to name a private key, how to name the public key, and just important again, where to place them and what what rights they must have to protect them? And, still important, which config file to adopt (default-ssl, or default-ssl.conf).
By the way, I implemented already the certificates in an other environments, and they are all working (tested with the ssl checker [URL] .....).
How to find a common-sense web page for Apache2 on Debian 8.1?
I've been trying to get an ECDSA certificate to work for my postfix installation, however, it seems that when I try to use the aECDSA protocol with a client the server gives "no shared cipher" errors.
I have had to ditch ubuntu after 4 happy years as their 10.04 release was crazily resource hungry on my humble machine. Installed F13 smoothly and without any problems and so far it doesn't appear to be as resource hungry as ubuntu. One thing I have not been able to find in either gnome preferences or administration is where to set it to go straight to desktop without messing around with passwords and stuff.
Things beyond my control are causing me to rush a bit in getting the website moved. I'm working hard to try and get it done, but something else has come up that SSL Certificate.I know that our website's "basket" area is protected by an SSL certificate to ensure customer information, especially credit info, is secure. With the move to Amazon's service, it looks like I may need to create our own self-signed SSL certificate to ensure the basket area remains secure.
I have found guides that walk through how to make one yourself and configuring apache to allow it, but something else has come to mind. The guides I found don't really indicate where the SSL certificate goes afterwards, and also doesn't suggest which sections should be governed by the certificate (as only the basket section uses it, not anything else). How would I find out that information?
Recently jumped from Ubuntu to Fedora 12 over the weekend, has been quite the bumpy ride. Though fun of course. But I'm having trouble coming to a solution for this problem, that started today. When signing into both Empathy or Pidgin (only with msn account) they both just hang on the white screen inactive... I say "inactive" the program hasn't frozen I just cannot be signed in. Also, in Pidgin at the bottom, next to where it shows your status, it has;
I am interested in signing up to the Amazon EC2 service with EBS. I have never used a unmanaged vps before, but I know how to use the command line etc. There are some basic packs on there to use, with basic LAMP stacks. But I would like to ask about how do I:
Upgrade a lamp stack? - someone mentioned yum, but what is this? how easy is it to use? is it enough? secure the lamp stack? - assuming I have no idea of linux security, can you give me a list or something of things I need to consider so I can begin the search (or just cover the steps would be awesome!) My website just uses php and mysql, so thats all i'll need. If you have any other tips on this,
For some reason my Conky is making my machine do infinite DNS requests to the last host I'm connected with. For example, if I visit forums.debian.net it'll start the infinite DNS request to this host. If I close the navigator it stops. If I try to connect to irc.freenode.net it starts the DNS requests. If I disconnect it stops. Why is it happening?
Daily updated Debian Testing Because Debian is the only operating system on this laptop and I keep at least two working kernels, I would like to hide Grub2's menu unless I press a key (like one could do with Grub). I can hide the menu if the line GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 is in /etc/default/grub but it doesn't appear after pressing SHIFT, which is a threat if the system cannot boot the selected kernel. Right now, the timeout is set to one second. I've read Grub2's documentation and [URL] and tried various combinations, but I haven't been able to make this work.
Running graphical software update, fc13. Attached are screenshots, which appear in sequence. The first seems to be asking if I trust the source, Adobe. (The Help for this window says I can go to the adobe website to confirm details of the signing key, which I will do if there is not a simpler fix.) If I respond in affirmative to the first window I get the failure window, second shot, with traceback.
Initially I had a problem installing restricted extras. However, it appears the problem is more than a media problem, so I moved my thread here. I copied over what I thought the relevant code was from my previous thread. Anyone have ideas on how I can fix this?
Is there any way to protect a bash script with a digital signature, so that it can't be executed if it has been meddled with? Or, if this is not possible for bash scripts, is it possible for any other type of scripts (Python, Perl?) in Linux?
I recently installed two PC with debian lenny (kernel 2.6.26). One is called serveur-debian1 and the second one serveur-debian2. I have installed gnome,samba, mysql5, apache2, php5, and Virtualbox,bridge-tools on them. On serveur-debian2, i installed an other virtual debian lenny with apache2,mysql5,php5,nagios and centreon on it to view my network. I remember having installed a soft to access nntp on serveur-debian2 in order to test nagios.
Since a few days, i have problem to access to my servers. rom my windows 7 client, i try to ping serveur-debian1. Response is OK but not for all resquets Always from the same computer, i try to ping serveur-debian2. Response is OK but not for all again.
When i launch a ping on serveur-debian1 and serveur debian2 at the same time i have:
ping 1 to 10: serveur-debian1: response OK serveur-debian2: no response ping 11to 14: serveur-debian1: no response serveur-debian2: response OK ping 15 to 25: serveur-debian1: respone OK serveur-debian2: @ip serveur-debian1 network unreachable (there's no error, it shows me the ip of serveur-debian1)
If i switch on the debian virtual server on the serveur-debian2, and i ping it at the same time, the response is OK for all resquests. The problem is very strange. I can't have a correct connection and when i launch a request from a software which access the mysql server, the requests failed ...
I have configured squid 2.5 stable 6. I can browse any website. I can even use msn messenger but I cannot use yahoo messenger. I have also set the http proxy settings in preference for yahoo messenger but still it does not sign in.
During installation at, Select and install software, i had this extra option "Packages to install: rt2x00-source", and answered yes. sources.list has main and contrib sections.

I've been trying to find out which jabber/XMPP clients out there automatically sign messages with openpgp you send but documentation on that has been spotty. Could you tell me a. if you know any clients that can easily sign and encrypt all outgoing messages and b. should I worry if a client is only able to sign presence and not messages?
I am thinking about creating a Debian Live CD with only the base system. I would like to know how to make the CD bootable so that it can load the kernel and continue with the booting sequence.
