make certificate hangs

make certificate hangs

Moin,

I've setup modssl with apache. I've followed the example from
modssl.org. Then i try "make certificate type=custom" and it hangs at
this point:

Getting CA Private Key
Verify: matching certificate & key modulus
Verify: matching certificate signature
.../conf/ssl.crt/server.crt: OK

After that I made "make certificate type=test" and it hangs to:

Getting CA Private Key
Verify: matching certificate & key modulus
Verify: matching certificate signature
.../conf/ssl.crt/server.crt: /C=XY/ST=Snake Desert/L=Snake Town/O=Snake
Oil, Ltd/OU=Certificate Authority/CN=Snake Oil
CA/emailAddress=ca@snakeoil.dom
error 10 at 1 depth lookup:certificate has expired
OK

How can I "debug" this issue?

Matthias

"make certificate" is largely deprecated at this point, as far as I'm
concerned... it doesn't even ship with Apache 2.0 + mod_ssl. The
expiration could be considered a bug in Apache 1.3's mod_ssl, but IMO
the best thing for you to do is to follow the steps in the mod_ssl
documentation for creating your own self-signed certificate using
openssl by hand. The documentation isn't perfect, but that route is
still probably the best option right now that I know of.
