hi, your problem is in the "index.txt" file (located in your CA-directory). The individual entries in each line of that file must absolutely be separated by TABs, not by spaces!
Your "index.txt" probably got messed up, meaning that the tabs were converted to spaces (maybe you saved it from a text editor?). This means OpenSSL's functions are not able to parse it any more - they find 1 item per line instead of the 6 expected. Take a look at http://www.dfn-pca.de/certify/ssl/handbuch/ossl095/ossl095-7.html#ss7.1 for an in-depth description of how to construct a valid index.txt Cheers, Steve Stefan Homberg wrote: > Hi!I' m experiencing difficulties while trying to sign a certificate request >(openssl ca -keyfile ./private/caKey.pem -in ./private/gatewayReq.pem -out >gatewayCert.pem -outdir ./certs).
