Why is phpseclib producing incompatible certs?
- by chacham15
Why is it that when I try to use a certificate/key pair generated from phpseclib, the OpenSSL server code errors out? Certs/Keys generated from OpenSSL work fine. How do I fix this?
Certificate/Key Generation taken straight from phpseclib documentation:
<?php
include('File/X509.php');
include('Crypt/RSA.php');
// create private key / x.509 cert for stunnel / website
$privKey = new Crypt_RSA();
extract($privKey-createKey());
$privKey-loadKey($privatekey);
$pubKey = new Crypt_RSA();
$pubKey-loadKey($publickey);
$pubKey-setPublicKey();
$subject = new File_X509();
$subject-setDNProp('id-at-organizationName', 'phpseclib demo cert');
//$subject-removeDNProp('id-at-organizationName');
$subject-setPublicKey($pubKey);
$issuer = new File_X509();
$issuer-setPrivateKey($privKey);
$issuer-setDN($subject-getDN());
$x509 = new File_X509();
//$x509-setStartDate('-1 month'); // default: now
//$x509-setEndDate('+1 year'); // default: +1 year
$result = $x509-sign($issuer, $subject);
echo "the stunnel.pem contents are as follows:\r\n\r\n";
echo $privKey-getPrivateKey();
echo "\r\n";
echo $x509-saveX509($result);
echo "\r\n";
