 Expecting: CERTIFICATE REQUEST

I tried to open the certificate file called certificate.pem with "openssl req -text -in certificate.pem" commands but it shooted the error that I wrote at output. This error didnt happen when I built certificate with x509.CertificateSigningRequestBuilder but I get an error when I try to build a self-signed certificate with x509.CertificateBuilder. Thanks for all help.

CodePudding user response：

Check if the first line of your certificate request starts with:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

CodePudding user response：

It is unclear what you are trying to do here, since you only describe the problems you run into and not what task you are trying to implement at the end. Anyway ...

openssl req -text -in certificate.pem

This line expects a certificate request. Your code instead creates a certificate (CertificateBuilder), not a certificate request. The latter would be created with x509.CertificateSigningRequestBuilder, which as expected works with the openssl req command above.

... I get an error when I try to build a self-signed certificate with x509.CertificateBuilder.

It does not look like you get an error when building the self-signed certificate, i.e. the code to build the certificate works. Instead you get an error when using it with openssl req. This error is expected since you did not provide a certificate request but instead a certificate. For certificates use the x509 openssl command not req:

  openssl x509 -text -in certificate.pem
