HELP? How to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

For properly authenticate the node on the testbed the node admin should create a certiticate request with the following two mandatory entries:

  1. Common Name (CN): node's RD management address (2001:db8:cafe::2) (the domain that we want to secure)
  2. Email Address: technician's e-mail address for contact

The following command can be used for generating the requests and also generate the key pair:

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mynode.key -out mynode.csr

But of course existing node keys can be used, for example the Tinc key:

openssl req -new -key /etc/tinc/confine/rsa_key.priv -out mynode.csr

Upload a node certificate to be signed (CSR file in PEM format) using the following form:

{% csrf_token %} {% for field in form %}
{{ field.errors }} {{ field }}
{% endfor %}
{% for obj in queryset %} {% endfor %}
