How to createa Self Signed SSL

Hi,
I am trying to create a Self Signed Certificate to enable SSL for Sun Directory Server 2005Q1 P4.
We donot have any External or Internal CA.
How do i generate a self signed certificate to use in my Directory Server
Thanks

Hi,
I have just followed the entire instructions. When i tried to enable the SSL from the directory console, it is not listed in the Certificate drop down list. any ideas why i am not getting the cert in the list?
Thanks,

How to Import Self-signed SSL server certificates in Adobe AIR applications

Hi,
I am using secure AMF endpoints for remote object communication from AIR client.
since i am using a self signed SSL certificate on the server, i am getting a certificate warning message on the AIR client, when ever a remote call is done.
Is there any mechanism to import the server certificate in AIR application..?
Please provide suggestions.
Thanks

I have the same issue along with repeated prompts to accept cert when I am just trying to access the page internally on my network.. Any help here RIM????????

Problem with importing and creating self signed SSL certificate

Mac Pro, 10.7.2 Server. Attempting to import or create a self signed certificate for use as ichat.domain.com to encrypt iChat service. Server is acutally called server.domain.com but has an alias of ichat.domain.com. I understand that this is probably not best practice but I would like to keep things this way since we have one server, run multiple services on it, but want to continue to connect to each service at SERVICE.domain.com. We have been using this type of mismatched certificate with success since 10.4 or so.
I am working through setup of 10.7 Server to replace our 10.6 server.
Tried upgrade of 10.6 to 10.7 installation. The installation made a mess of some services and our Open Directory, but did move the certificate over and allowed iChat service to function properly.
Clean install and setup of 10.7 Server. Exported self signed certificate, private key, and encryption password from 10.6 Server and functioning 10.7 upgraded Server.
On import or manual creation of certificate get the following error:
Error
Check your server's logs for more information. The error (code 5001) was: Expected SecKeychainItemImport to return a SecIdentityRef, but it did not
Log shows:
Dec 29 17:56:55 server servermgrd[498]: -[CertsRequestHandler(HelperAdditions) importP12Data:passphrase:error:]: importedItems = (
"<SecCertificate 0x7fcf6ed43c00 [0x7fff78d96f40]>"
I have tried importing and manually creating other certificates with a variety of names with success. I assume that there is something buried somewhere that is causing this particular one to be a problem. Other than manually removing any remnants of the certificate from /etc/certficates I do not have any ideas what to try. I am essentially ready to move this server to 10.7 except for this problem and would like to avoid a reinstall.
Suggestions?

OBIEE 11g SSL how to generate self-signed/demo certificate

Hi,
We are enabling SSL for OBIEE 11.1.1.5 environment and want to generate self-signed or demo certificate.
We are following note 1326781.1 and are at Step 1 - point 4 that says:
4. Submit the Certification request to your Signing Authority (CA).
Certification Authority(CA) is an valid signing authority of your choice (for example: OpenSSL, Verisign,
Microsoft, etc)
Upon submission of the certificate request, CA returns the certificate for the testmachine server (Server Certificate). Copy the CA certificate and Server Certificate to <MW_HOME>/SSL folder.
How to gerenate self-signed or demo certificate?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you have the keytool on that server (installed with WLS) , you can create the generate the certificate and import that into a keystore.
Follow : Getting Started with WebLogic Server: How to Create and Configure Self Signed Certificates for WebLogic Server Environments [ID 1341192.1] , describes the two options.

How do we create self-signed certificate using java packages

Hi All,
I require some information on creating self-signed certificate using java packages.
The java.security.cert.* package allows you to read Certificates from an existing store or a file etc. but there is no way to generate one afresh. See CertificateFactory and Certificate classes. Even after loading a certificate you cannot regenerate some of its fields to embed the new public key – and hence regenerate the fingerprints etc. – and mention a new DN. Essentially, I see no way from java to self-sign a certificate that embeds a public key that I have already generated.
I want to do the equivalent of ‘keytool –selfcert’ from java code. Please note that I am not trying to do this by using the keytool command line option – it is always a bad choice to execute external process from the java code – but if no other ways are found then I have to fall back on it.
Regards,
Chandra

I require some information on creating self-signed certificate using java packages. Its not possible because JCE/JCA doesn't have implementation of X509Certificate. For that you have to use any other JCE Provider e.g. BouncyCastle, IAIK, Assembla and etc.
I'm giving you sample code for producing self-signed certificate using IAIK JCE. Note that IAIK JCE is not free. But you can use BouncyCastle its open source and free.

Abandoning Self-Signed SSL Certificates?

Hello,
I'm working on remediation of some security flaws and have encountered a finding that calls out each of my domain-added workstations as having self signed SSL certificates. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I do know the following things:
1) An earlier finding lead to me disabling all forms of SSL on my servers and workstations
2) Workstations use certificates to identify themselves to other domain assets.
Now my servers all have their own certs signed by an outside authority. However, it would be a huge amount of work to go through the process for each and every workstation. So my questions are these:
1) Can I create a NON-SSL self signed cert for these machines to use?
2) How do I remove these current SSL certs without having to hover over each workstation?
Basically, what's the least effort to remove self-signed SSL certs and replace them with something more secure?
Thanks,
M.

What do you mean when you say that you've disabled all forms of SSL on your servers and workstations? SSL serves to provide secure communications for all of your domain operations, so disabling SSL, in general, would likely break your entire domain. If you're
using certificates on your workstations, then you're using certificate-based security (IPSec) in some manner.
Do you have AD CS or some other certificate signing authority/PKI in your environment? If not, you would have to pay a public provider (i.e. VeriSign) to provide certificates, and I can assure you that gets very expensive.
If you have Microsoft servers in your environment, you can install and use Certificate Services to provide an internal signing mechanism which can be managed through group policy. You can replace all of the workstation certificates with ones signed by your
internal certificate authority (CA,) and those will pass muster with any auditor provided the appropriate safeguards are put into place elsewhere in your environment.
Least effort for you would be to implement an internal CA, which admittedly isn't a low-effort endeavor, and have the CA assign individual certificates to all of your machines, users, and any other assets you need to protect. If your auditors are requiring
the removal of the self-signed certificates, you might find a way to script the removal of the certificates. In my experience, however, most auditors just want IPSec to be done with certificates that terminate somewhere other than the local workstation (i.e.
an internal CA).

Self-signed SSLs - SHA2

Hi all,
I'd like to renew the self-signed certificates using SHA256 within Exchange 2013 (EAC / Servers / Certificates / named: Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate and WMSVC). We have an internal vulnerability scanner complaining about
the use of SHA-1 due to the recent finding. The externally facing SSL is using SHA256 but this was generated and signed outside of Exchange 2013, and simply imported.
I've tried this command but as this server doesn't have the CA role install it's not working:
certutil -setreg ca\csp\CNGHashAlgorithm SHA256
Error is: certutil -setreg command FAILED: 0x80070002 (win32: 2 error_file_not_found)
How can these self-signed certificates be renewed using SHA256?
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
As what Andy says, there is no option in Exchange to generate a self-signed certificate using SHA256. Generate a custom request with SHA256 can be available and used for a non self-signed certificate:

Self signed SSL Certificates no longer work after upgrade to 37.0.1

I followed these two articles to create local self signed certificates and they have been working fine since February. Now with the update to 37.0.1 I get "Secure Connection Failed" while trying to access my local website through FireFox. IE and Google Chrome have no problem accessing the local site.
http://www.jayway.com/2014/09/03/creating-self-signed-certificates-with-makecert-exe-for-development/
http://www.jayway.com/2014/10/27/configure-iis-to-use-your-self-signed-certificates-with-your-application/
I have already deleted cert8.db, restarted FF, then re-imported the self signed certificates but get the same error. No other software has changed on this box except the automatic upgrade to FF 37.0.1.
The network setting is already set to use "No Proxy"
How do I fix this?
Windows 8.1 Pro
IIS 8

I have exactly the same problem. All servers and devices that use a self-signed certificate are not reachable anymore via FF37.0.1 after upgrade to FF 37.0.1.
Firefox prints:
"Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
I'm not getting the chance to add an exception hence no access to the server anymore.
This is a severe problem, because all internally used Glassfish servers in our test environments run with self-signed certificates. As Firefox blocks access to them I cannot maintain my servers anymore.
I have the same problem with Chrome but not with IE - IE is the offers to add an exception but suffers the blank page problem when accessing Glassfish.
I tried to adjust the following values in the FF config:
security.tls.version.min = 0 ;default
deleted cert8.db and restarted FF
I'm really lost, kindly advise.

Accessing websites running on non-standard ports or with self-signed ssl certs?

I've got some sites running using self-signed ssl's that also run on non-standard ports. Firefox home doesn't seem to open these pages it just sits there with the spinner loading and a blank screen...
Anyone else noticed this?

If the ASA is using a certificate issued by a CA that is in the client's trusted root CA store, then the ASA identity certificate does not need to be imported by the client.
That's why it's generally recommend to go the route of using a well-know public CA as they are alreay included in most modern browsers and thus the client doesn't need to know how to import certificates etc.
If you are using a local CA that is not in the client's trusted root CA store to issue your ASA identity certificate or self-signing certificates on the ASA then you need to take additional steps at the client.
In the first case, you would import the root CA certificate in the trusted root CA store of the client. After that, any certificates it has issued (i.e the ASA's identity certificate) would automatically be trusted by the client.
In the second case, the ASA's identity certificate itself would have be installed on the client since it (the ASA) is essentially acting as it's own root CA. I usually install them in my client's Trusted Root CA store but I guess that's technically not required, as long as the client knows to trust that certificate.

How to use self-signed Certificate or No-Check-Certificate in Browser ?

Folks,
Hello. I am running Oracle Database 11gR1 with Operaing System Oracle Linux 5. But Enterprise Manager Console cannot display in Browser. I do it in this way:
[user@localhost bin]$ ./emctl start dbconsole
The command returns the output:
https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em/console/aboutApplication
Starting Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control ... ...
I open the link https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em/console/aboutApplication in browser, this message comes up:
The connection to localhost.localdomain: 1158 cannot be established.
[user@localhost bin]$ ./emctl status dbconsole
The command returns this message: not running.
[user@localhost bin]$ wget https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em
The command returns the output:
10:48:08 https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em
Resolving localhost.localdomain... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost.localdomain|127.0.0.1|:1158... connected.

Unable to establish SSL connection.
A long time ago when I installed Database Server Oracle 11gR1 into my computer, https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em in Browser comes up this message:
Website certified by an Unknown Authority. Examine Certificate...
I select Accept this certificate permanently. Then https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em/console/logon/logon in Browser displays successfully.
But after shut down Operating System Oracle Linux 5 and reopen the OS, https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em/console/logon/logon in Browser returns a blank screen with nothing, and no more message comes up to accept Certificate.
My browser Mozilla Firefox, dbconsole, and Database Server 11gR1 are in the same physical machine.I have checked Mozilla Firefox in the following way:
Edit Menu > Preferences > Advanced > Security > View Certificates > Certificate Manager > Web Sites and Authorities
In web sites tab, there is only one Certificate Name: Enterprise Manager on localhost.localdomain
In Authorities tab, there are a few names as indicated in the above output of wget.
My question is: How to use self-signed certificate and no-check-certificate in Mozilla Firefox for EM console to display ?
Thanks.

Neither problem nor solution do involve Oracle DB
root cause of problem & fix is 100% external, detached, & isolated from Oracle DB.

How to replace self-signed certificate for enterprise manager console

Does anyone know how to change self-signed certificate for https access to Enterprise Manager console, which is issued during installation of Oracle 11g?

Well, this might not be much help, but for 10g, on AIX, docID 1171558.1 describes how to create a new certificate.
Not sure how relevant it will be for 11g, sorry :(

IPhone LDAP contacts and Self signed SSL certificates

Hi,
I am using OpenLDAP with self signed SSL certificate, and i am unable to get SSL work with LDAP contacts on the IPhone (4.x). I have tried to add a CA cert with a server certificate for the LDAP server and downloaded it to the IPhone by web, it adds the CA, but even with it, it does not want to connect to the LDAP server with SSL enabled.
Does LDAP contacts should work by adding new CA ? if yes, what is the exact procedure to do it ? (maybe I used a wrong CA export format, or wrong SSL certificate encryption format ...)
can someone tell me how to do it ?
This is really anoying, since we have multiple iphones on the company.
Thanks for the help.

Hello, found your post. I realize it's been 6 months since you posted, but I have a solution for you since I have struggled with the same problem since 2009.
I discovered that when the iPhone is using LDAPS, it tries to bind with LDAPv2. After it binds, it speaks LDAPv3 like it is supposed to. Apparently this is a somewhat common practice since OpenLDAP includes an option for it.
You'll want to set the following option in OpenLDAP:
dn: cn=config
olcAllows: bind_v2
Walla! LDAPS works! (assuming you've correctly done all the certificate stuff). Took some deep reading through the debug logs to figure out this problem. Figured I'd share my answer with others.

How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2

How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2. i need to monitor specifically self signed certificates expiration. if possible in two state monitor...please suggest me the best way..
B John

Hi,
Based on my understanding, that you want to create a monitor to monitor certificate expiration, with two state, when the certificate is about expiration for 21 days,, send warning, when the certificate is about expiration for 10 days, then send
alert. I think we need to create scripts to do so, hope the below links can be helpful:
