#
OpenSSL example configuration file.
#
This is mostly being used for generation of certificate requests.
#
#
This definition stops the following lines choking if HOME isn't
#
defined.
HOME = .
RANDFILE = $ENV::HOME/.rnd
#
Extra OBJECT IDENTIFIER info:
#oid_file = $ENV::HOME/.oid
oid_section = new_oids
#
To use this configuration file with the "-extfile" option of the
#
"openssl x509" utility, name here the section containing the
#
X.509v3 extensions to use:
#
extensions =
#
(Alternatively, use a configuration file that has only
#
X.509v3 extensions in its main [= default] section.)
[
new_oids ]
#
We can add new OIDs in here for use by 'ca' and 'req'.
#
Add a simple OID like this:
#
testoid1=1.2.3.4
#
Or use config file substitution like this:
#
testoid2=${testoid1}.5.6
