openssl
The NAC 800 OS offers openssl, another tool for creating and managing
certificates. Chapter 4: “Configuring the RADIUS Server—Integrated with
ProCurve Identity Driven Manager” and Chapter 5: “Configuring the RADIUS
Server—Without Identity Driven Manager” teach you how to use
openssl
commands to manage certificates for the NAC 800 FreeRADIUS server.
The commands below are far from comprehensive, but they will help you
complete common tasks. Visit
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/
openssl.html
for complete documentation provided by the OpenSSL project.
Syntax:
openssl req -x509 -newkey [rsa | dsa]:[512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096] -keyout
<
key_filename
> -out <
certificate_filename
> -days <
number
> [-nodes]
[-outform {DER | PEM}] [-config <
filename
>] [-extensions <
section name
>]
Creates a self-signed certificate and associated private/public
keypair of the specified algorithm and length (for example,
rsa:2048
). The key and certificate are saved as
<
key_filename
>
and
<
certificate_filename
>
.
The
days
option specifies the number of days the certificate is
valid.
Include the
-nodes
option if you do not want to protect the key
with a password.
You can choose
DER
or
PEM
for the
-outform
option, which
specifies the certificate format (default:
PEM
).
The
-config
option specifies the configuration file for the
openssl application; the
-extensions
option specifies the name
of a section in that file that contains the extensions for this
certificate.
