Hi All,
The following error has been cropping up on OpenSSL 0.9.8 installs when the user is attempting to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the WLC:
OpenSSL> req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout mykey.pem -out myreq.pem
Unable to load config info from c:openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf
error in req
Fix:
Step 1 - Download a valid "openssl.cnf" configuration file.
Step 2 - Save "openssl.cnf" to the same folder as your OpenSSL executable (ex openssl.exe)
Step 3 - Use the following command to kick off the CSR:
OpenSSL> req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout mykey.pem -out myreq.pem -config openssl.cnf
Don't forget to reference the following guide when creating a CSR, and chaining Certificates on the WLC:
