   2 The three directories each contain a complete CA with server signing
   3 certificate, OCSP signing certificate and a selection of server
   4 certificates under each domain.
   5
   6 For each directory there are a number of subdirectories.
   7
   8     CA  - The main certificate signing directory.
   9
  10             Within this directory the primary file sof interest
  11             will be the two CRL files,  crl.empty and crl.v2
  12             These are valid CRLs; the "v2" containing the two
  13             revoked certs.
  14
  15     BLANK - a template usable for client-only machines
  16             for clients of this private CA.
  17
  18     *.example.* - individual server certificates.
  19
  20 The six certificate subdirs each contain a cert for a machine
  21 by that name; those in the "expired" ones are out-of-date (the
  22 rest expire in 2038).  The "1" and "2" systems/certs have
  23 equivalent properties.
  24
  25 In each certicate subdir: the ".db" files are NSS version of the cert,
  26 the ".pem", ".key" and ".unlocked.key" are usable by OpenSSL (the
  27 ca_chain.pem being a copy of the CA public information and signer
  28 public information).
  29
  30 The ".p12" file rolls up the CA, Signer and cert info. Both the ".p12"
  31 and NSS info are passworded using the "pwdfile".
  32 The ocsp request file is one a client would send to an OCSP responder.
  33 The ocsp response files are those gotten that way. in .der format;
  34 "good" being all well, "dated" meaning the response (not the cert)
  35 is out-of-date, and "revoked" meaning the cert has been revoked.
  36
  37
  38 The files were created using the "genall" script which utilises a
  39 combination of tools,
  40
  41     openssl
  42     nss-tools
  43     clica
  44
  45 of these the only unfamiliar one is likely to be clica, a command
  46 line CA tool which can be found at
  47
  48     http://people.redhat.com/mpoole/clica/

  50 NOTE:
  51  During running of "genall" you need to manipulate the system
  52  date/time.  Shutdown ntpd service before doing this, and restart
  53  after.
