Hi Andreas, Had the same problem recently - it's due to the -next_serial option being unsupported in your version of OpenSSL but the CA.pl script requiring it! The -next_serial option was introduced in OpenSSL version 0.9.7e : Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [XX xxx XXXX] - *) + *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in + violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities. + This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial + number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed + certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial + number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl + rather than being initialized to 1. + [Steve Henson] I'm had installed 0.9.7g without removing an existing version of openssl (0.9.7d). I don't know if this is your problem but I would try removing all versions of openSSL and reinstalling 0.9.7g - everything should work when the CA.pl script and the openssl versions are 'in-line' Hope this helps Andy Street Andreas Korber wrote:
Hi, What i am doing wrong? The creation of my certificates for EAP/TLS with CA.all or CA.certs always end with an message like this:
----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Locality Name (eg, city) []:Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:Email Address []: Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []:An optional company name []:Using configuration from /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf ./demoCA/serial: No such file or directory error while loading serial number 3164:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:276:fopen('./demoCA/serial','r') 3164:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:278: Failed to do sign certificate radius:/usr/local/etc/raddb/certs #
So i looked for the serial file. But it dosn´t exist. I think because of an earlier message:

Can anyone help me plaese??
