NAME

       ssl-admin.conf - configuration file for ssl-admin


DESCRIPTION

       The file  ssl-admin.conf contains settings that control site- specific
       settings for your default key size, length, and location information.

       This configuration file is essentially a called perl script with the
       needed variables assigned.


KEY INFORMATION

       KEY_SIZE (num)
              The length, in bits, for the default key size. A minimum of 1024
              is recommended.  This option can be changed at run time.

       KEY_DAYS (num)
              The length, in days, for the default period a certificate is
              valid for.  365 is recommended for web, mail, etc, servers.
              3650 is recommended for VPN certificates.  This option can be
              changed at run time.

       KEY_CN (str)
              This is the default Common Name for a certificate.  Leaving the
              value empty is recommended.  This option is always asked for at
              run time.

       KEY_CRL_LOC (str)
              The publicly available location for your CRL (Certificate
              Revokation List).  At this time, ssl-admin does not have the
              ability of sending the CRL to another system.  This value simply
              allows it to be set within each certificate.  This string must
              start with "URI:", and be followed with a standard URL. For
              example, "URI:http://www.example.com/crl.pem"
