Great idea!
That certainly should work but didn't for me.
My openssl is "OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006"
The 1st command worked fine and gave a self-signed cert that looked fine.
See below for a dump of it.
openssl x509 -in sslcln.pem -days 1024 -out sslcln2.pem
-signkey sslcln.pem
The 2nd command returned the same error (see below) as I was getting
before!
openssl x509 -in sslcln2.pem -days 1024 -out sslcln3.pem -CA
ca.pem -CAserial serial
Note: sslcln.pem and ca.pem both contain the cert & private key.
To make sure I wasn't just doing it wrong I tried it on another
self-signed cert, created normally (for ocsp) with "openssl req -new -x509
..."
openssl x509 -in ocspss.pem -days 1024 -out ocspss2.pem -CA
ca.pem -CAserial serial
This worked fine, updating the validity preserving the extensions as I
needed.
Did I do something wrong in command 1?
error from command 2:

Re: refresh validity dates on a certificate
What I would do is a pair of commands:
$ openssl x509 -in currentcertificate.pem -out selfsigned.pem -days
1024 -signkey currentkey.pem
$ openssl x509 -in selfsigned.pem -days 1024 -CA ca.pem -CAserial
serial -out refreshedcert.pem -outform PEM
Since you're creating a self-signed cert in the first command, the
input is appropriate for the -CA function.
Note, under the BUGS section of the 'x509' man page, it says:
"Extensions in certificates are not transferred to certificate
requests and vice versa." So you can't just convert to request and
then sign the request. However, extensions are retained from cert to
cert if you don't use the -clrext option.
