How to use self-signed certificate to verify others certificate?

the self-signed certificate and keys acts as CA like VeriSign
alias =SelfSignCA
keystore = SelfSignLib
certificate = SelfSign.cer
certificate to be verify
alias = companyCA
certificate = companyLib
csr file = company.csr
how to use keytool to verify/sign the company certificate?thank you.

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 :(

  • 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.

    Self-signed certificate encountered.
    To connect to localhost.localdomain insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
    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 use Self Signed certificate with SSLServerSocket?

    Hello to all.
    I'm trying to build a simple client/server system wich uses SSLSocket to exchange data. (JavaSE 6)
    The server must have it's own certificate, clients don't need one.
    I started with this
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#CreateKeystore
    To generate key for the server and a self signed certificate.
    To sum it up:
         Create a new keystore and self-signed certificate with corresponding public/private keys.
    keytool -genkeypair -alias mytest -keyalg RSA -validity 7 -keystore /scratch/stores/server.jks
         Export and examine the self-signed certificate.
    keytool -export -alias mytest -keystore /scratch/stores/server.jks -rfc -file server.cer
         Import the certificate into a new truststore.
    keytool -import -alias mytest -file server.cer -keystore /scratch/stores/client.jksThen in my server code I do
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "/scratch/stores/server.jks");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "123456");
    SSLServerSocketFactory sf = sslContext.getServerSocketFactory();
    SSLServerSocket sslServerSocket = (SSLServerSocket)sf.createServerSocket( port );
    Socket s = sslServerSocket.accept();I am basically missing some point because I get a "javax.net.ssl.SSLException: No available certificate or key corresponds to the SSL cipher suites which are enabled." when I try to run the server.
    Can it be a problem with the certificate? When using -validity <days> in keytool the certificate gets self-signed, so it should work if I'm not wrong.
    I have also tried this solution
    serverKeyStore = KeyStore.getInstance( "JKS" );
    serverKeyStore.load( new FileInputStream("/scratch/stores/server.jks" ),
         "123456".toCharArray() );
    tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance( "SunX509" );
    tmf.init( serverKeyStore );
    sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
    sslContext.init( null, tmf.getTrustManagers(),secureRandom );
    SSLServerSocketFactory sf = sslContext.getServerSocketFactory();
    SSLServerSocket ss = (SSLServerSocket)sf.createServerSocket( port );and still it doesn't work.
    So what am I missing?

    You were right. I corrected the mistakes in the server code, now it's
         private SSLServerSocket setupSSLServerSocket(){
              try {
                   SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
                   KeyManagerFactory km = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
                   KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
                   ks.load(new FileInputStream(_KEYSTORE), _KEYSTORE_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
                   km.init(ks, _KEYSTORE_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
                    * Da usare con un truststore se serve autenticazione dei client
                    * TrustManagerFactory tm = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
                   tm.init(ks);*/
                   sslContext.init(km.getKeyManagers(), null, null);
                   SSLServerSocketFactory f = sslContext.getServerSocketFactory();
                   SSLServerSocket ss = (SSLServerSocket) f.createServerSocket(_PORT);
                   return ss;
              } catch (UnrecoverableKeyException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (KeyStoreException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (CertificateException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return null;
         }and on the client code
    private SSLSocket setupSSLClientSocket(){
         try {
              SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
              /* SERVER
              KeyManagerFactory km = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
              km.init(ks, _KEYSTORE_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
              KeyStore clientks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
              clientks.load(new FileInputStream(_TRUSTSTORE), _TRUSTSTORE_PASS.toCharArray());
              TrustManagerFactory tm = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
              tm.init(clientks);
              sslContext.init(null, tm.getTrustManagers(), null);
              SSLSocketFactory f = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
              SSLSocket sslSocket = (SSLSocket) f.createSocket("localhost", _PORT);
              return sslSocket;
         } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (KeyStoreException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (CertificateException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
         return null;
    }and added a System.out.println(sslSocket); after every incoming message (server side) and SSL is now fully working!
    So my mistakes were:
    [] Incorrect setup done by code
    [] Incorrect and insufficient println() of socket status
    Now that everything works, I've deleted all this manual setup and just use the system properties. (They MUST be set before getting the Factory)
    SERVER SIDE:
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", _KEYSTORE);
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", KEYSTOREPASSWORD);
    SSLServerSocketFactory f = (SSLServerSocketFactory) SSLServerSocketFactory.getDefault();
    SSLServerSocket sslServerSocket = (SSLServerSocket) f.createServerSocket(_PORT);
    CLIENT SIDE:
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/scratch/stores/client.jks");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "client");
    SSLSocketFactory f = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
    SSLSocket sslSocket = (SSLSocket) f.createSocket(_HOST, _PORT);
    And everything is working as expected. Thank you!
    I hope my code will help someone else in the future.

  • How to register iOS device when using self signed certificate with apple Server?

    Hi,
    I have installed the server.app by Apple and used a slef signed certificate for my server. Now I want to register my different devices (iMac, iPhone etc.). I could register the iMac without problesm (I just had to add my self signed certificate to the trusted certificates)
    Sadly, with the iPhone it is not that easy. I can install the "trust profile", but still after that I can not register my device. It seems like it does not accept my self signed certificate for device registration. When adding a registration profile, I get the error "www._mydomain_.tld/devicemanagement/api/device/auto_join_ota_service" is not valid.
    Nethertheless, I can install a profile with setting, e.g. my imap settings, via the profile management without problems.
    Does anyone have an idea how to get around the problem with the self signed certificate?
    Best regards

    Try deleting the Server.app and download it again from the App Store, restart.
    My Server is also using self signed certificates and is working with iOS device (Trust Profile needed first).

  • 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:

  • Use self signed certificate

    Hi,
    I have got a theoretical question: Is it right to use self-signed certificate in production environment?
    We don't want to use this cert. for authentication but for SSL decryption. Is this a good solution?
    Thanks!
    V.

    Hi Rick,
    May be I was not completely clear in my wordings :)
    VPN connection is not a mandate. The VPN connection already existed between our organization and the provider service (instead of going over the internet) and hence the security person in our organization was fine with us using self signed certificates.
    I gave you a scenario where the use of self signed certs was authorized. And also once more scenario where using self signed certs in test environments is not allowed.
    Two contrasting thoughts, so basically it is up to the perception of the security people to assess the risk and give a go ahead.
    Personally I feel that if the communication channel is secure between the systems (2 way ssl) then using self signed certs for message encryption might be fine.
    If the channel is not secured (may be even 1 way SSL), I would prefer using CA certified certs.
    Hope I make more sense now :)
    Thanks,
    Patrick

  • Flyspray email notification using self signed certificates

    Hi all, I've been having an issue with flyspray sending notification emails through a SMTP server (running on localhost) which uses submission (port 587) and starttls with a self signed certificate. Whenever a notification would be sent I receive an error like the following:
    Notice: Undefined property: Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer::$_sequence in /usr/share/webapps/flyspray/includes/external/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 236 Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed in /usr/share/webapps/flyspray/includes/external/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 102 Completely unexpected exception: Unable to connect with TLS encryption
    This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers
    For the time being I just disabled notification all together. But this is a pretty big problem for me as I would like to avoid having to come to the web to view bugs I'm working on. Eventually I will create my own personal CA and this problem will become a non-issue, but until the time comes I'd love a work around (preferably not too dirty if at all possible).
    Thanks for the help.

    The certificate may have been generated incorrectly but I would suggest logging

  • Avoid an alert with using self-signed certificate

    Hi
    I want to publish a free product and I would like to use a free self-signed certificate
    But during installing, the Adobe Exstension Manager shows an alert
    Where is a way how to avoid this alert with using a self-signed certificate (I generated certificate with help of Adobe Exchange Packager) or I should only use a paid code-signed certificate?
    Best regards
    Maxim

    As I understund, "Show warning when instaling..." this option available only for end user in Exstantion manager, right? It means there is no way how to switch off this warning if I use ucf.jar tool for packing ZPX and an user uses default setting on this end. When, only one way is left - to buy a payed certificate, even for free product. Correct?

  • How to install self-signed certificate with iOS 4?

    I've been trying to install a self-signed certificate in iOS 4 with no avail. I have a webserver at home in which I connect to via SSL using a self-signed cert. It used to work in 3.1.3; it would kick out a dialog, but you were able to continue to the page. Now with iOS 4, that is no longer the case, I am unable to view the site.
    I have tried several things. I have tried emailing the cert. to myself and installing it. I get it installed but says it's untrusted and am not able to view the site. I have tried converting my .pem that is on my server to .p12 and that didn't work. I tried going to the site in Safari on my Mac and adding the cert. to the keychain and then syncing; that didn't work. I tried taking that cert. in the keychain, making sure it was trusted, exporting it to .cer and adding that to a configuration profile I created in the iPhone Configuration Utility.. that did not work despite the fact that it showed it as trusted. Am I doing something wrong or missing something here?

  • MTLS using self-signed certificates

    We have a Expressway-C and Expressway-E setup in labs. While setting up a secure (TLS) traversal zone between C and E, can we use self-signed certs instead of trusted CA certs? (Import the C self-signed cert on to E and vice-verse will suffice for  MTLS?)

  • Can we run AnyConnect using self signed certificates?

    I have a lab that I want to build a laptop-to-ASA remote access tunnel, using AnyConnect.  
    I understand AnyConnect requires IKEV2, and certificates.  
    It does not allow for pre-shared passwords, like VPN-client.  
    Is there a way I can build the lab without getting a certificate?

    AnyConnect does not require certificates if you use SSL VPN (vs. IKEv2 IPsec VPN). On an SSL VPN you can use local authentication on the ASA or external authentication to AD, LDAP, RADIUS, etc. (in addition to or instead of certificates).
    If you want to use IKEv2 and certificate authentication you can use either the ASA itself the CA server or proxy (via SCEP) to an internal CA (e.g. a Windows servers with Certificate Services). There are some other possible methods (such as the way you asked about) but in my experience they are not commonly used as few users have the knowledge or desire to go that route. Most organizations using client certificates deploy them from an internal root CA.

  • Importing self-signed certificate

    Hi there!
    I have some problems in importing SSL certificates on my macbook.
    There are 2 certificates that needs to be imported: the root CA certificate, which is self-signed naturally and private user certificate, which is signed by above-mentioned CA.
    The first file in .crt format, which is consists of CA public key and sign. The second file in .p12 format, which is consists of encrypted public and private keys.
    The problem is:
    I can't import nor CA neither my personal certificate.
    The CA cert should be imported at "CA" tab in keychain, but the import button ("+") is inaccesible here:

    When I tried to double-click CA.crt I got the import error # -67762 which saying that attribute "key length" was invalid. The same thing with my personal certificate.
    Could somebody explain me, how should I import those two SSL certificated?

    I'm using self-signed certificate from SBS. Right now it's not the question, if something is misconfigured within my certificate (I'm aware of SBS certificate problems), the problem is that E90 WILL NOT recognize .cer or .der files as certificates.
    There must be someone, who can answer this really simple question, which certificate formates are supported on E90.
    You will find this type of question posted many times on different forums, with diiferent suggestion, but they simply don't work.
    Again my error is "file format not supported"
