How to successfully import ASA self-signed certificate?

On ASA 9.1 i am trying to export an Identity certificate, self-signed certificate into p12 file so i can import it into laptop and used it for secure connection to ASA over ASDM. I can add certificate OK using ASDM, certificate show up OK in Certificate management/dentity certificate. Exported certificate into .p12 file with passphrase OK.
In Win XP and Windows 7 every time i try to import certificate i got message that password is incorrect. Yes, i did type correct password.
Even thru cli i got the same error when trying to import the file.
ASA(config)# crypto ca export ASDM_TRUSTPOINT pkcs12 password
Exported pkcs12 follows:
-----BEGIN PKCS12-----

Any tips or tricks how to get this simple task completted? Is maybe file format not right?

Hi
Please show the error ASA is reporting during import.
It's working correctly with 9.1(0)2, example:
ASA9(config)# crypto ca trustpoint TP
ASA9(config-ca-trustpoint)# enrollment self
ASA9(config)# crypto ca enroll TP
WARNING: Trustpoint TP has already enrolled and has
a device cert issued to it.

RV120W- How to create new unique self-signed certificate?

Hello,
how to create new unique self-signed certificate on RV120W? I can create request for singning by external CA, but I cannot create new unique self-signed certificate itself. Any idea? Did I miss something? Many thanks!
Abudef

So basically RV120W does not support self-signed certificate? It only allows to generate private key and certificate signin request. There is no chance to replace default generic ssl/vpn certifice within router itself? Could you please give me an advice, how to sign that request by some "CA"? I mean no commercial CA, I need something free running under Windows os. Many thanks!

How to import the self-signed certificate in runtime

HI.
I work to connect between JSSE client and OpenSSL server with self-signed certificate.
But I met the SSLSocketException during handshaking.
Many Solutions registered in this page.
But their are all using keytool.
My application connect many site support the self-signed certificate.
So, I want to import the certificate in run time.
How Can I do??
Please, answer me..
Thanks,

did you figure this out??? I need to know how to accept a self-signed certificate, otherwise it's this exception...

How to replace an expiring self-signed certificate?

Well, I've successfully (I THINK) replaced two of the three certificates that are expiring.
First off - 90% of what's in the Security manual concerning certificates is useless to this issue. I don't want to know how the watch is made - I just want to tell time! In fact there is a GLARING typo on Page 167 of the Snow Leopard Server Security Configuration Manual showing a screenshot of the Certificate Assistant in Server Admin that is just plain wrong!
It's clear there is no way to RENEW the certificate. You have to delete the old one and replace it with a new certificate.
The issue I have is that with all the services using the certificate, I don't know what the impact to the end-users is going to be when I delete that expiring certificate.
It appears that a certificate is created automatically when the OS is installed, although I installed the OS Server on a virtual machine and I didn't see where it got created, nor was I given any input during the creation (like extending the expiration date).
I don't know whether those certificates are critical to the running of the OS or not, but I went through the process of creating a new certificate in Server Admin. I deleted the expiring certificate. Because the two servers on which the expiring certificate was deleted does not have any services running that require a certificate (such as SSL on my mail server), nothing bad seems to have happened or been impacted negatively.
I did, however, name the new certificate the exact same thing as the old certificate and tried to make sure that the parameters of the new certificate were at least as extensive as the old certificate. You can look at the details of the old certficate to see what they were.
Here's the "critical" area of the certificate that was "auto-created" on my virtual server. (It's the same as the one on my "real" server.
http://screencast.com/t/zlVyR2Hsc
Note the "Public Key Info" for "Key Usage": Encrypt, Verify, Derive. Note the "Key Usage" Extension is marked CRITICAL and it's usage is "Digital Signature, Data Encipherment, Key Cert Sign". Extended Key Usage is also critical and it's purpose is Server Authentication.
Here's a screenshot of the default certificate that's created if you create a new self-signed certificate in Server Admin:
http://screencast.com/t/54c2BUJuXO2
Note the differences between the two certificates. It LOOKS to me like the second certificate would be more expansive than the default issued at OS Install? Although I don't really care about Apple iChat Encryption.
Be aware that creating certificates starts to populate your server Keychain.
http://screencast.com/t/JjLb4YkAM
It appears that when you start to delete certificates, it leaves behind private keys.
http://screencast.com/t/XD9zO3n16z
If you delete these keys you get a message warning you about the end of the world if you delete private keys. I'm sorry if your world melts around you, but I'm going to delete them from my Keychain.
OK, now I'm going to try to create a certificate that is similar to the one that is created at start-up.
In Server Admin, highlight your server on the sidebar and click the "Certificates" tab in the icon bar.
Click the "+" button under your existing certificate and select "Create a Certificate Identity". (This is how I created the default certificate we just got through looking at except I clicked through all the defaults.)
Bypass "Introduction".
In the "Create Your Certificate" window I set the "Name" as exactly the same as the name of the expiring certificate. I'm HOPING when I do this for my email server, I won't have to go into the services using the certificate and select the new one. On the other hand, naming it the same as the old one could screw things up - I guess I'll know when I do it later this week.
The "Certificate Type" defaults to "SSL Server" and I think this is OK since that's what I'll be using this certificate for.
You HAVE to check the "Let me override defaults" if you want to, for example, extend the expiry period. So that's what I want to do, so I checked it.
In the next window you set the Serial Number and Validity Period. Don't try typing "9999" (for an infinite certificate) in the "Validity Period" field. Won't work - but you CAN type in 1826 (5 years) - that works - Go Figure!??? You can type in a bigger number than that but I thought 5 years was good for me.
The next part (Key Usage Extension) is where it gets sticky. OF COURSE there is NO DOCUMENTATION on what these parameters mean of how to select what to choose.
(OK here's what one of the "explanations" says: "Select this when the certificate's public key is used for encrypting a key for any purpose. Key encipherment is used for key transport and key wrapping (or key management), blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah!") I'm sure that's a clear as day to you rocket scientists out there, but for idiot teachers like me - it's meaningless.
Pant, pant...
The next window asks for an email address and location information - this appears to be optional.
Key Pair Information window is OK w/ 2048 bits and RSA Algorithm - that appears to be the same as the original certificate.
Key Usage Extension window
Here's where it gets interesting...
I brought up the screenshot of the OS Install created certificate to guide me through these next couple of windows.
Since the expiring cert had "Digital Signature, Data Encipherment, Key Cert Sign" I selected "Signature, Data Encipherment and Certificate Signing".
Extended Key Usage Extension...
Hoo Boy...Well, this is critical. But under "Capabilities" it lists ANY then more stuff. Wouldn't you THINK that "ANY" would include the other stuff? Apparently not..."Learn More"?
Sorry, folks, I just HAVE to show you the help for this window...
+*The Extended Key Usage Extension (EKU) is much like the Key Usage Extension (KUE), except that EKU values are defined in terms of "purpose" (for example, signing OCSP responses, identifying an SSL client, and so on.), and are easily extensible. EKU is defined with object identifiers called OIDs. If the EKU extension is omitted, all operations are potentially valid.*+
KILL ME NOW!!!
OK (holding my nose) here I go...Well, I need SSL Server Authentication (I THINK), I guess the other stuff that's checked is OK. So...click "Continue".
Basic Constraints Extension...
Well, there is no mention of that on the original certificate, so leave it unchecked.
Subject Alternate Name Extension...
Nothing about that in the original certificate, so I'm going to UNCHECK that box (is your world melting yet?)
DONE!!!! Let's see what the heck we got!
http://screencast.com/t/QgU86suCiQH
Well, I don't know about you but that looks pretty close for Jazz?
I got some extra crap in there but the stuff from the original cert is all there.
Think we're OK??
Out with the old certificate (delete).
Oh oh - extra private key - but which is the extra one? Well, I guess I'll just keep it.
http://screencast.com/t/bydMfhXcBFDH
Oh yeah...one more thing in KeyChain Access...
See the red "X" on the certificate? You can get rid of that by double clicking on the certificate and expanding the "Trust" link.
http://screencast.com/t/GdZfxBkHrea
Select "Always Trust".
I don't know if that does anything other than get rid of the Red "X", but it looks nice. There seem to be plenty of certificates in the Keychain which aren't trusted so maybe it's unnecessary.
I've done this on both my file server and my "test" server. So far...no problems. Thursday I'll go through this for my Mail server which uses SSL. I'm thinking I should keep the name the same and not replace the certificates in the iCal and Mail service which use it and see what happens. If worse comes to worse, I may need to recreate the certificate with a different name and select the new certificate in the two services that use it.
Look...I don't know if this helps anyone, but at least I'm trying to figure this idiocy out. At least if I screw up you can see where it was and, hopefully, avoid it yourself.
If you want to see my rant on Apple's worthless documentation, it's here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2613095&tstart=0

to add to countryschool and john orban's experiences:
using the + Create a Certificate Identity button in Server Admin is the same thing as running KeyChain Access and selecting Certificate Assistant from the app menu, and choosing Create a Certificate. Note that you don't need to create a Certificate Authority first.
in the second "extended key usage extension" dialog box, i UN-checked Any, PKINIT Server Authentication, and iChat Encryption. this produced the closest match to the server's default self-installed certificate.
when updating trust settings in Keychain Access, the best match to the original cert are custom settings - set Always Trust for only SSL and X.509 Basic Policy.
supposedly you can use Replace With Signed or Renewed certificate button from Server Admin and avoid needing to re-assign to services. however i was unable to get this to work because my new cert didn't match the private key of the old. for those interested in going further, i did figure out the following which might be helpful:
you can't drag and drop a cert from Keychain Access or Cert Manager. you need the actual PEM file. supposedly you can hold down the option button while dragging, but this didn't work for me. however you can view the certificates directly in etc/certificates. but that folder is hidden by default. a useful shortcut is to use Finder / Go To Folder, and type in "/private/etc/certificates"
now, on my system the modification date was the same for old and new certificates. why? because it seems to be set by when you last viewed them. so how do you know which is which? answer: compare file name to SHA1 Fingerprint at bottom of certificate details.
after you delete the old certificate, it will disappear in Keychain Access from "System" keychains. however in "login" keychains the old one will still be there but the new one won't. it seems to make sense to delete the old one from here and add the new one. somebody tell me if this is a bad idea. the + button does not work easily for this, you need to drag and drop from the etc/certificates folder.
lastly, the "common name" field is the server/host name the client will try to match to. you can use wildcard for this, e.g. *.example.com. if you need to, you can use the Subject Alternate Name to provide an alternative name to match to, in which case the common name field will be ignored, which is why by default the dNSName alternate field defaults to the common name. more info here: http://www.digicert.com/subject-alternative-name-compatibility.htm.
maybe that's hopeful to somebody. but i stopped there since things seem to be working.
last note, which you probably know already - if you don't want to bother installing the certificate in your client computers and phones, you can select Details when the first trust warning pops up and select Always Trust.
now, we'll see how everything works once people start really using it...

ASA self-signed certificate for Anyconnect 3.1, which attributes?

Hi everybody,
I can't find the detailed information which attributes are exactly needed for the Anyconnect 3.1 client to correctly identify the VPN server -ASA 8.4(4)1
I have added two servers in the client connection profile:
IP address, primary protocol IPsec
IP address/non-default port number, primary protocol SSL
Connecting via IPsec only issues a warning about "untrusted source" (I didn't import the certificate as trusted, but that's not the issue)
Connecting via SSL issues an additional warning "Certificate does not match the server name".
The self-signed certificate (created with ASDM) includes the IP address as DN cn, additionally as alternate identity "IP address". I have exported the certificate and parsed it with openssl (after re-encoding to PKCS#12 DER) and apparently no attributes are included.
I would like to give it a try with certtool and openssl to generate a self-signed certificate which is accepted by the Anconnect 3.1, where can I find a detailed description, which attributes are required for Anyconnect SSL sessions? I'm convinced the identity (DN cn) is OK.

Shamelessly bumping this question,
Anyone out there (maybe from Cisco) who can tell us, which atttributes are required on a self signed certificate?
I keep getting "Certificate does not match the Server Name" for SSL-VPN, IPsec-VPN is fine for the same server.

Persistant ASA self signed Certificate

Is there a way to keep an ASA from generating a new self signed certificate every time it reloads?

Try this link from Cisco
"By default, the security appliance has a self-signed certificate that is regenerated every time the device is rebooted. You can purchase your own certificate from vendors, such as Verisign or EnTrust, or you can configure the ASA to issue an identity certificate to itself. This certificate remains the same even when the device is rebooted. Complete this step in order to generate a self-issued certificate that persists when the device is rebooted....."

How to Generate a Proper Self Signed Certificate for RV180W

Right now the Self-signed Certificate on my RV180W generates errors as it was issued to the MAC address instead of the current IP address. Could someone please provide me insrtucions on Generating a Self-Signed certificate (or 1 from my Windows Server 2012 Certification Authority) that will eliminate the constant barreage of certificate errors I get when trying to access the management interface of my device? the internal domain is mythos.local, netbios name of MYTHOS, and the device name in question is surtur.
Thanks in advance,

How to import a self signed certificate into Firefox from the windows store properly.

I am currently trying to get a wcf service that runs on the same machine as the browser that is making the request. Since the connection is between a browser and an application running on the same machine security was orginally not a concern and it seemed fine to leave the request on http. The first issue arrised when Firefox did not allow mixed content calls (The website making the requests uses https). I have the service converted fine to run with Chrome and IE in https, but not for Firefox due to its use of a seperate store.
For the windows store I created one CA cert which then issues the self signed cert which is then binded to a port I have the WCF service listening on (In my case this is: https://localhost:8502).
This all needs to be done progammatically so I can't manually Add an Exception (which does work).
If there was a way to use certutil (I am not very addept at using this tool at all) to add this exception it would be very helpful.
The other method I have tried is exporting the selof signed cert and then importing it. Using IIS I can only export the file as .pfx which I can't seem to import into the Servers tab in the certificates interface (I assume this is the right location for it since the exception adds it here). I extracted the certificate from the port through code and imported it to the store, but it does not seem have the extra column defining the port like the exception cert does (It does not work wither).
How do I do this correctly? Or is it even possible to have a self signed cert bypass all this? I only have it using self signed certs since the service is just running on localhost.

HI,
Adding an exception does work manually, but you would like to do this programmatically. This has more on the nSS functions [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Certificate_Download_Specification]
I have not tried this you can add it to the file cert8.db if you can insert it into each profile you can access? (For example copy the file after you have manually added it?) that would overwrite any uniqueness however- not good for preserving data.
The best advice would come from the security mailing list or the esr mailing list, that helps enterprise environments.

How to Install a trusted self signed certificate in iPhone?

Hi,
I'm trying to install a self signed CA certificate in an iPhone 4S (IOS 5.1) but always the certificate is showed as "Not Trusted".
I have an iPhone 4 (same IOS 5.1) and when I install the same certificate it appear as Trusted. I have the same behavior in some iPads.
I think this is the reason because my VPN is not working. When a try to use a Cisco VPN with certificate always receive the "Could not validate the server certificate." error in the devices how can't trust in my CA.
Anyone have a clue about how to resolve this?

You need to use a profile updater like iPhone configuration utility.
1. Create a configuration profilecredential.
2. In the profile go in credential and add/import the root certificate from the authority you want to have.
3. Install the profile on the device.
I should work.

How can I replace the self-signed certificate on a SL150?

Hi,
I would prefer to have our internal CA sign the SSL-certificate for our SL150.
Is this possible? Where can I find the configuration to generate a request and upload the certificate?
Thanks,

How do I install this self-signed SSL certificate?

I haven't been able to connect to the jabber server I've been using (phcn.de) for quite some time now, so I filed a bug report with mcabber. The friendly people there told me to install phcn.de's self-signed certificate, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to do that.
I know I can download something resembling a certificate using
$ gnutls-cli --print-cert -p 5223 phcn.de
Which does give me something to work with:
Resolving 'phcn.de'...

Hi,
I recently found out a way how to install test or self-signed certificates and use it with S1SE.
See:
http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO.html
Follow the instructions there
1. Create CA
2. Create root ca certificate
Now install the root-ca-certificate in S1SE -> Security>Certificate Management and Install a "Trusted Certificate Authority".
Paste the contents of the file: cacert.pem into the message-text box.
Then restart the server. Now your CA-Cert should be visible in the Manage Certificates menu.
The next step is to send a certificate-request from S1SE to your e-mail-address.
The contents of the e-mail the server sends to you (certificate request) must be pasted into the file: newreq.pem.
Now just sign the Request:
CA.pl -sign
The last step is that you have to paste the contents of the file newcert.pem into the message-box of the Security>Certificate Management - now under the option Certificate for "This Server".
Then you have to reboot the server/instance again and it should work with your certificate.

Dominic

How do i install a self signed server certificate

After using the admin tool to generate a request CSR, how do I sign this myself for testing purposes so I can install it and therefore run using https?
I have keytool and certutil both available on the system.
My most recent solution was to cut and paste the request to www.thawte.com/cgi/server/test.exe and it would return a certificate that was good for 21 days. This however is not the solution I am looking for.
Thanks

Need to import self-signed certificate?

I'm in the process of migrating an applet to 1.3.1_03. The latest problem I've run into is the change in security between 1.2.2 and some version of 1.3, in that, apparently, I have to import a self-signed certificate into cacerts for our intranet applet to work.
Is this still true for 1.3.1_03? If so, is there an easy way to do this from the client perspective (e.g. some batch file that can be run to handle this)? I've seen quite a few other posts surrounding this topic, but it's difficult to keep track of what's current.
Does 1.4 remove this issue (just curious... we're not planning to go to 1.4)?
Thanks,
Van Williams

What I've done is to import the certificate into a keystore on the web server. I also have the policy file (also on the web server) pointing to this keystore. This works fine, as long as either one of the following is true:
1) the java.security file on the client has a policy.url entry thta points to the policy file on the web server
2) The runtime parameters for the plug-in specify the policy file on the web server (e.g. -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy={location of policy file on web server})
I'm trying to figure out a way to not have an automated procedure change the java.security file on the client (though I'll use this approach if needed). I also don't want to change the runtime parms on the plug-in (will affect other applets). If there is a way to specify this in the HTML for my applet, that would be perfect. Any ideas (will be posting this as a separate thread).
Thanks,
Van Williams

How pass client credentials to ws client and accept self signed certificate

How do you connect to a web service over ssl and accept self-signed certificates. I generated the client using JAX-WS but i ran into two problems. First of all, how do you pass the client credentials? And second, how can you accept a self-signed certificate?

Thanks for your comments Jason.
I'm not quite sure why the certificate has client auth. It does seem to be a misconfiguration, but I do see both 7.3.1 & 7.3.2 on the cert. That seems like a possible fix, but in a backwards way. I can get those certificates reissued, but I'm confused
as to why config manager itself is not installing per the site settings.
My default install is via a vbs script you wrote (1.6.5). The other methods I've tried in this particular instance are by browsing to the server and running ccmsetup.exe from explorer out of my sms_<site> directory, and by using command line
specifying the /mp:mp.mysite.com
I looked for command line switches to use, but there's no /NoUsePKI switch or /UseSelfSigned...
any suggestions for a better installation method?

How to renew a self signed certificate

Hello,
Can someone tell me how I can renew a self signed certificate ? I can't find the relevant option with the certadmin command.
thx,
Tom.

Hi,
thanks I had scanned through that document, but it doesn't tell you how to renew a self signed certificate. I went through all the options of the certadmin tool, and renewing a certificate is not one of them. So I guess it must be done manually via some pki binary somewhere on my system, but which one and how ?
