comment:1 by DJ Lucas, 3 years ago

Summary: make-ca-1,8 → make-ca-1.8.1
  • Rerelease of 1.8 - set default for code signing to off

1.8 Release notes:

  • Use get_p11_label for certificate name in output when processing local certificates
  • Use "Subject:" line for get_p11_label()
  • Use last OU= value for get_p11_label() fallback
  • Fix several text issues in get_p11_label - Thanks to Michael Joost
  • Omit x-certificate-extension in comparison for copy-local-modifications
  • Use X509v3 Key Usage section to determine local trust for anchors added using 'trust anchor --store'
  • Add nss-{server,email}-distrust-after values in anchors - requires p11-kit >= 0.23.19
  • Use --filter=certificates for all stores
  • Fix output of NSSDB and Java PCKS#12 stores
  • Correct incorrectly named get_p11_val()
  • Use .p11-kit extension for anchors
  • Handle getopt style short options in get_args()
  • Use Microsoft's trust for code signing with -i | --mscodesign Note: this is manually generated, will add CCADB when available
  • Backup and restore anchors with PKIX extensions

comment:3 by DJ Lucas, 3 years ago

There are some text changes that need to be added as well. We should default to using /usr/bin/trust to import certificates into the anchors (which will use the x509 Extended Key Usage values for default trust values). This will, in turn, create an OpenSSL Trusted certificate in /etc/ssl/local so that certificates are preserved across updates. Also, the p11-kit helper should not update the store from the web, but rather run with the -r switch only, same thing for adding a certificate manually or manually changing trust). I had planned to take this ticket, first in a long time. :-) Here is what I have in my sandbox:

Please round off make-ca-size to 30 KB. We only want to use decimals when less than 10, and for KB we probably should always round to whole KB.
