Topic: Strange mail from /etc/cron.daily/conf-mod_ssl

[cool34000]

Hi,

I'm receiveing this email every day from /etc/cron.daily/conf-mod_ssl since 3 or 4 days

Code: [Select]

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Email Address []:

I went to the file specified in the cron, it looks like a private/public key file.


The only modifications I've made is securing SSH by using public/private keysets and also installed a certificate in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/e-smith/ witch should gather all needed informations. (seen on a forum). Both work very well...

But does that template have the fix mentioned in the bug report (in the other discussion refered to above).
Quick fix is to populate ALL the fields (incl. department etc.) in the Directory panel (server-manager).

Thanks for your help. The problem seems to come from the ssl.crt
No values are autodiscovered by the script but the howto say to only modify line 13 (common name). I will give it a shot as soon as I can.
