Certificate Revocation
2003-07-23 22:37

  Hi all,
        I am using Openca0.9.0 rc 7. when i try to revoke a
  certificate from the CA interface, it throws an error like this.

  Error 6841
  General Error. Error while revoking Certificate! OpenCA::OpenSSL
  returns errorcode 7732073 (OpenCA::OpenSSL->revoke: OpenSSL failed
  (256).)..


  - i don't know to overcome this.

  kindly help this newbie to get rid of it.

  thanx in advance.

I encountered the same problem
I found the following point

1) The error ocuurs while executing an OpenSSl command such as

/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl ca -revoke 
\/usr\/local\/openca\.0\.9\.2\/openca\/var\/tmp\/14446_3_cert\.pem 
-config /usr/local/openca.0.9.2/openca/etc/openssl/openssl.cnf -passin 
env:pwd


2) Separate execution of command failed because the the temporary copy 
of the certificate namely the file


/usr\/local\/openca\.0\.9\.2\/openca\/var\/tmp\/14446_3_cert\.pem


does not exists


3) I does not know why the the name of the file has been built while the 
the is not created


Thank you for your help

Dominique
