The Campaign listener implements SSL using the OpenSSL library. The OpenSSL distribution includes a command-line program called
openssl that can create a certificate file. For complete details on using this program, consult the OpenSSL documentation or access the help by entering
-help when you run the program.
This program and its associated configuration file, openssl.cnf, are included in the
bin directory of the
Campaign installation. It is also available with the OpenSSL distribution.
The tool asks you a series of questions. If you enter a period (.) the field is left blank. For a self-signed certificate, you must at least enter the Common Name.
If you are using the openssl tool from the
Campaign/bin directory, add the
-config parameter with a value that points to the
openssl.cnf file in the same directory. For example:
The following example command creates a certificate named certificate.pem with an expiration of 10,000 days from the day it was created, using the
request.pem and
key.pem files.
If you are using the openssl tool from the
Campaign/bin directory, add the
-config parameter with a value that points to the
openssl.cnf file in the same directory. For example:
