Topic: [solved] 2048 bit custom certificiate

[kruhm]

Hi Everyone,

I'm renewing my commercial certificate and following the instructions here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Custom_CA_Certificate

Upon executing, the CSR generated is only 1024 bit and not 2048. The CONFIG file has 2048 set.

Any ideas on generating a correct 2048 CSR?

Thanks in advance,

[_alex]

Code: [Select]

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr

That´s odd! I just used same page to generate SSL cert to https://zanella.adv.br and it´s 2048!
You can go to that URL and confirm it!

It looks like if there is a key already, the script uses existing key to generate the CSR. Since the existing key was only 1024 bit, the CSR was only 1024 bit.

-renamed the existing key.
-re-run the script.
-CSR created correctly.

Thanks for response.

ok. You're welcome.

Maybe we should update doc (wiki) about this!
And please add [Solved] to subject.
