Hi list,

I'm having problems with my openssl certificate used with apache2.
I've followed the tutorial on apache.org to create a certificate and sign
it afterwards. This step-by-step guide can be found here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html.en#realcert

The first problem occurs when following the next step to sign the
certificate( http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#ownca )
Typing ./sign.sh server.csr I get the following output:

CA signing: server.csr -> server.crt:
Using configuration from ca.config
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Check that the request matches the signature
Signature ok
The Subjects Distinguished Name is as follows
countryName :PRINTABLE:'DE'
stateOrProvinceName :PRINTABLE:'Germany'
localityName :PRINTABLE:'xxxxxxxx'
organizationName :PRINTABLE:'xxxxxxxxx'
commonName :PRINTABLE:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
emailAddress :IA5STRING:'xxxxxxxxx'
ERROR:There is already a certificate


A certificate with same attributes already exist. Did you tried to create another request with different parameters (CN, O...) ?
A Certification Authority policy can forbid to validate (sign) 2 certificate wich use same parameters.


for
/C=DE/ST=Germany/L=xxxxxxxx/O=xxxxxxxx/CN=xxxxxxxxxxxx/Email=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The matching entry has the following details
Type :Valid
Expires on :051129093250Z
Serial Number :01
File name :unknown
Subject
Name :/C=DE/ST=xxxxxxxxxxx/L=xxxxxxxx/O=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/CN=xxxxxxxxxxxx/Email=xxx


Next steps cannot be done because the previous failed.

xxxxxx CA verifying: server.crt <-> CA cert
server.crt: unable to load certificate file
9007:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start
line:pem_lib.c:662:Expecting: CERTIFICATE

If I use this certificate, it works fine with Konqueror(shown certificate
information are fine) and the subversion command line client, but neither
Firefox nor Internet Explorer can connect.
Firefox says:
"Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate is invalid
or corrupted. Error Code: -8182"

There are no error messags in apache's error.log

I already re-created the certificate and signed it, but it didn't help.

Any of you guys an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks a ton in advance,
Michael



Anybody? Is this the wrong place to ask? Should I rather ask on apache mailinglist? Or are you missing information?
