=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
c_rehash - Create symbolic links to files named by the hash values
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<c_rehash>
|
|
[ I<directory>...]
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
B<c_rehash> scans directories and calculates a hash value of each C<.pem>
|
|
file in the specified directory list and creates symbolic links
|
|
for each file, where the name of the link is the hash value.
|
|
This utility is useful as many programs that use OpenSSL require
|
|
directories to be set up like this in order to find certificates.
|
|
|
|
If any directories are named on the command line, then those are
|
|
processed in turn. If not, then the B<SSL_CERT_DIR> environment variable
|
|
is consulted; this shold be a colon-separated list of directories,
|
|
like the Unix B<PATH> variable.
|
|
If that is not set then the default directory (installation-specific
|
|
but often B</usr/local/ssl/certs>) is processed.
|
|
|
|
In order for a directory to be processed, the user must have write
|
|
permissions on that directory, otherwise it will be skipped.
|
|
The links created are of the form C<HHHHHHHH.D>, where each B<H>
|
|
is a hexadecimal character and B<D> is a single decimal digit.
|
|
When processing a directory, B<c_rehash> will first remove all links
|
|
that have a name in that syntax. If you have links in that format
|
|
used for other purposes, they will be removed.
|
|
Hashes for CRL's look similar except the letter B<r> appears after
|
|
the period, like this: C<HHHHHHHH.rD>.
|
|
|
|
Multiple objects may have the same hash; they will be indicated by
|
|
incrementing the B<D> value. Duplicates are found by comparing the
|
|
full SHA-1 fingerprint. A warning will be displayed if a duplicate
|
|
is found.
|
|
|
|
A warning will also be displayed if there are B<.pem> files that
|
|
cannot be parsed as either a certificate or a CRL.
|
|
|
|
The program uses the B<openssl> program to compute the hashes and
|
|
fingerprints. If not found in the user's B<PATH>, then set the
|
|
B<OPENSSL> environment variable to the full pathname.
|
|
Any program can be used, it will be invoked as follows for either
|
|
a certificate or CRL:
|
|
|
|
$OPENSSL x509 -hash -fingerprint -noout -in FFFFFF
|
|
$OPENSSL crl -hash -fingerprint -noout -in FFFFFF
|
|
|
|
where B<FFFFFF> is the filename. It must output the hash of the
|
|
file on the first line, and the fingerprint on the second,
|
|
optionally prefixed with some text and an equals sign.
|
|
|

fingerprints (see above).
