鉴于最近工作经常跟证书打交道,今天就来详细聊一聊证书那些事
本文介绍了如何创建自己的证书颁发机构以及如何创建由该证书颁发机构签名的SSL证书。 尽管有许多文章讨论如何创建自己的SSL证书,但在大多数情况下,它们描述了如何创建自签名证书。这比较简单,但是无法验证或跟踪那些证书。 我个人更喜欢先创建个人证书颁发机构(CA),然后再从该证书颁发机构颁发证书。这种方法的主要优点是,你可以将CA的证书导入浏览器或手机中,并且当你访问自己的网站或连接到SMTP/IMAP服务器时,不会再收到任何警告。现在被认为是值得信赖的。如果你为自己的项目创建证书层次结构,并且希望成为唯一可以为用户颁发证书的人员,则这也是必要的。

在磁盘上创建目录,然后保存以上配置文件命名为ca.cnf。你可以编辑标记为“ EDIT THOSE”的参数,还可以更改一些参数(例如,如果你希望证书的有效期超过一年,则可以更改default_days),但是默认值应该足够绝大多数用户
# mkdir -p mypersonalca/certs
# mkdir -p mypersonalca/private
# mkdir -p mypersonalca/crl
# echo "01" > mypersonalca/serial
# touch mypersonalca/index.txt
要生成具有2048位私钥和有效期为十年(3650天)的证书的证书颁发机构,请执行以下命令:
OPENSSL=ca.cnf openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 \
-newkey rsa:2048 -out mypersonalca/certs/ca.pem \
-outform PEM -keyout ./mypersonalca/private/ca.key
它将询问你输入有关CA证书中的信息问题。做出有意义的回答,这样当你在浏览器中看到此证书时,就不会怀疑它的含义。完成上述命令后,会得到两个文件:mypersonalca/certs/ca.pem
和mypersonalca/private/ca.key
。密钥文件必须保密。任何获得ca.key的人都可以为你的CA签署证书。ca.pem文件是你的公共CA证书,可以将其导入到浏览器或移动平台中,以使设备可以识别您的根CA。现在有了CA密钥,可以开始生成和签名证书了。
获得有效证书的过程分为两个阶段。
首先将生成证书。以下命令用于生成证书和1024位私钥:
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -sha256 \
-keyout cert.key -keyform PEM -out cert.req -outform PEM
该命令将询问有关证书颁发者的一些问题。连接到你的服务器的任何人都可以看到此信息。如果你为Web或邮件服务器创建SSL证书,请特别注意“公用名”字段。你必须在此处输入此证书将使用的标准域名。例如,如果你的Web服务器是https://mymail.example.com,则你的通用名称必须是mymail.example.com。你也可以在域名的第一部分使用通配符:example.com的所有子域都可以使用具有通用名称(例如* .example.com)的证书。尽管不一定要提供电子邮件地址,但也必须提供。
证书一旦创建,就需要由你的CA签名,以便可识别:
OPENSSL_CONF=ca.cnf openssl ca -batch -notext -in cert.req -out cert.pem
现在,你获得了一对:签名证书cert.pem和相应的私钥cert.key,您可以根据需要使用它们。
有时你可能需要查看特定的证书,以查看其中的内容。以下命令将打印cert.pem证书的内容:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text
OpenSSL的常规设置信息。本示例创建一个根证书颁发机构,一个中间签名颁发机构,然后创建一个示例证书。在实践中,Root和Intermediate将位于不同的服务器上,而Root甚至可能被锁定在不错且安全的地方。一切都在一个基本目录中创建,每个CA都有一些子目录,然后是证书和配置等。私钥应受密码保护,在这些示例中,我使用“ rootpass”和“ intermediatepass”。
