can't create key

Post by gcl » Wed Dec 16, 2009 11:00 pm

The command:

openssl req -days 10585 -nodes -new -x509 -keyout %KEY_DIR%\ca.key -out %KEY_DIR%\ca.crt -config %KEY_CONFIG%

results in an error:

error 0D0AF0AD:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_TIME_set:errror getting time:.\crypto\asn1\a_time.c:109:

I used to be able to install this without any problem. The system is Windows Server 2003.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Solved my own problem.

The issue is the 2038 gmtime() bug.

Can't push the expiration date past 2038 for the cert.
