What parameters may be or must be different?

Post by jcarerra » Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:59 pm

When doing the steps
build-key clientname1
build-key clientname2
and
build-key-server servername

which parameters (variables) must be specified identical among them
which parameters (variables) must be specified different among them
which parameters (variables) MAY be specified different among them

Also, whatever the answers to the above, is violating one of them why I get
"TEXT_DB error number 2 "
on all cert/key (failed) creations except the first one?

Windows process. "source-ing" does not compute.

yes.

More interested in this question though...the other problem went away when I changed a few of the answers to the lase questions...but still would like to know the "real rules."

When doing the steps
build-key clientname1
build-key clientname2
and
build-key-server servername

which parameters (variables) must be specified identical among them?
which parameters (variables) must be specified different among them?
which parameters (variables) MAY be specified different among them ?
