3.7. 使用 GnuTLS 为 TLS 服务器证书创建私钥和 CSR

流程

1. 在服务器系统上生成私钥，例如：

   $ certtool --generate-privkey --sec-param High --outfile <example-server.key>

2. 可选：使用您选择的文本编辑器来准备一个简化创建 CSR 的配置文件，例如：

   $ vim <example_server.cnf>
   signing_key
   encryption_key
   key_agreement
   
   tls_www_server
   
   country = "US"
   organization = "Example Organization"
   cn = "server.example.com"
   
   dns_name = "example.com"
   dns_name = "server.example.com"
   ip_address = "192.168.0.1"
   ip_address = "::1"
   ip_address = "127.0.0.1"

3. 使用之前创建的私钥创建 CSR：

   $ certtool --generate-request --template <example-server.cfg> --load-privkey <example-server.key> --outfile <example-server.crq>

   如果省略 --template 选项，certool 工具会提示您输入额外信息，例如：

   You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
   into your certificate request.
   What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
   There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
   For some fields there will be a default value,
   If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

   Country name (2 chars): <US>
   State or province name: <Washington>
   Locality name: <Seattle>
   Organization name: <Example Organization>
   Organizational unit name:
   Common name: <server.example.com>

验证

1. 从 CA 获取请求的证书后，检查证书的人类可读部分是否与您的要求匹配，例如：

   $ certtool --certificate-info --infile <example-server.crt>
   Certificate:
