Error While Creating Self-Signed Certificate in OHS

If you are creating self signed certificate as specified in Oracle documentation you may face following error :


Error:

Using configuration from openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf
Error opening CA private key ./tools/openssl/simpleCA/cakey.pem
6089:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value:conf_lib.c:329:group=CA_default name=unique_subject
6089:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:276:fopen('./tools/openssl/simpleCA/cakey.pem','r')
6089:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:278:

Segmentation fault

When you are running: 

./openssl ca -config openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf -policy policy_anything -batch -out aaa_cert.pem -infiles aaa_req.pem

Solution: 

Open the file openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf using: 

$vi openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf

Modify dir location to 

dir = ../openssl/simpleCA 

and re-run the command. 

./openssl ca -config openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf -policy policy_anything -batch -out aaa_cert.pem -infiles aaa_req.pem
