ssl-admin.conf(5)	       File Formats Manual	       ssl-admin.conf(5)

NAME
     ssl-admin.conf - configuration file for ssl-admin

DESCRIPTION
     The file  ssl-admin.conf contains settings that control site- specific set-
     tings for your default key size, length, and location information.

     This configuration file is essentially a called perl script with the needed
     variables assigned.

KEY INFORMATION
     KEY_SIZE (num)
	    The  length, in bits, for the default key size. A minimum of 1024 is
	    recommended.  This option can be changed at run time.

     KEY_DAYS (num)
	    The length, in days, for the default period a certificate  is  valid
	    for.   365 is recommended for web, mail, etc, servers.  3650 is rec-
	    ommended for VPN certificates.  This option can be	changed  at  run
	    time.

     KEY_CN (str)
	    This  is  the  default  Common  Name for a certificate.  Leaving the
	    value empty is recommended.  This option is always asked for at  run
	    time.

     KEY_CRL_LOC (str)
	    The publicly available location for your CRL (Certificate Revokation
	    List).  At this time, ssl-admin does not have the ability of sending
	    the  CRL  to  another system.  This value simply allows it to be set
	    within each certificate.  This string must start with "URI:", and be
	    followed with a standard  URL.  For  example,  "URI:http://www.exam-
	    ple.com/crl.pem"
