2 The three directories each contain a complete CA with server signing
3 certificate, OCSP signing certificate and a selection of server
4 certificates under each domain.
6 For each directory there are a number of subdirectories.
8 CA - The main certificate signing directory.
10 Within this directory the primary file sof interest
11 will be the two CRL files, crl.empty and crl.v2
12 These are valid CRLs; the "v2" containing the two
15 BLANK - a template usable for client-only machines
16 for clients of this private CA.
18 *.example.* - individual server certificates.
20 The six certificate subdirs each contain a cert for a machine
21 by that name; those in the "expired" ones are out-of-date (the
22 rest expire in 2038). The "1" and "2" systems/certs have
23 equivalent properties.
25 In each certicate subdir: the ".db" files are NSS version of the cert,
26 the ".pem", ".key" and ".unlocked.key" are usable by OpenSSL (the
27 ca_chain.pem being a copy of the CA public information and signer
30 The ".p12" file rolls up the CA, Signer and cert info. Both the ".p12"
31 and NSS info are passworded using the "pwdfile".
32 The ocsp request file is one a client would send to an OCSP responder.
33 The ocsp response files are those gotten that way. in .der format;
34 "good" being all well, "dated" meaning the response (not the cert)
35 is out-of-date, and "revoked" meaning the cert has been revoked.
38 The files were created using the "genall" script which utilises a
45 of these the only unfamiliar one is likely to be clica, a command
46 line CA tool which can be found at

51 During running of "genall" you need to manipulate the system
52 date/time. Shutdown ntpd service before doing this, and restart
