Root-CA

Für meine Zertifikate erstelle ich mir eine eigene Certificate Authority. Server-Zertifikate und User-Zertifikate werden jeweils von einer eigenen CA erstellt.

Es ergibt sich folgende Struktur:

        Root-CA
        /     \
Server-CA     User-CA
   |            |
 SCert 1      UCert 1
 SCert 2      UCert 2
  ...          ...
 SCert n      UCert m

Es wird das Paket openssl benötigt:

apt-get install openssl

Folgendes Script mk_ca_struct legt in einem beliebigen Verzeichnis obige CA-Struktur an. Es benötigt eine angepasste openssl.cnf.tpl Datei, welche im gleichen Verzeichnis wie das Script selbst liegen muss: ./scripts

mv ${cert}Cert.pem ServerCA/certs
mv ${cert}Req.pem  ServerCA/private

echo "----------------------------------------------"
echo ""
ls -l certs private
echo ""

popd

Im Anschluss erzeuge ich mir für z.B. Cyrus-Imap-Server mein erstes Server-Zertifikat mit folgendem Script:

scx:/root/ca# ./scripts/mk_cert_server

Server-Cert Name: imap
...

Ein Test sieht so aus:

scx:/root/ca# openssl s_client -CApath /root/ca/certs -port 993 -host imap > /tmp/foo
