这些是关于使用 OpenSSL 生成证书授权（CA）、中间证书授权和末端证书的速记随笔，内容包括 OCSP、CRL 和 CA 颁发者信息，以及指定颁发和有效期限等。
我们将建立我们自己的根 CA，我们将使用根 CA 来生成一个中间 CA 的例子，我们将使用中间 CA 来签署末端用户证书。
根 CA
创建根 CA 授权目录并切换到该目录：
mkdir ~/SSLCA/root/
cd ~/SSLCA/root/
为我们的根 CA 生成一个8192位长的 SHA-256 RSA 密钥：
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out rootca.key 8192
样例输出：
Generating RSA private key,8192 bit long modulus
.........++
....................................................................................................................++
e is65537(0x10001)
如果你想要用密码保护该密钥，请添加 -aes256 选项。
创建自签名根 CA 证书 ca.crt；你需要为你的根 CA 提供一个身份：
openssl req -sha256 -new-x509 -days 1826-key rootca.key -out rootca.crt
样例输出：
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a DistinguishedNameor a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

创建一个存储 CA 序列的文件：

放置 CA 配置文件，该文件持有 CRL 和 OCSP 末端的存根。

创建中间 CA
生成中间 CA （名为 intermediate1）的私钥：
openssl genrsa -out intermediate1.key 4096
生成中间 CA 的 CSR：
openssl req -new-sha256 -key intermediate1.key -out intermediate1.csr
样例输出：

确保中间 CA 的主体（CN）和根 CA 不同。
用根 CA 签署中间 CA 的 CSR：
openssl ca -batch -config ca.conf -notext -in intermediate1.csr -out intermediate1.crt
样例输出：

生成 CRL（同时采用 PEM 和 DER 格式）：
openssl ca -config ca.conf -gencrl -keyfile rootca.key -cert rootca.crt -out rootca.crl.pem
openssl crl -inform PEM -in rootca.crl.pem -outform DER -out rootca.crl
每次使用该 CA 签署证书后，请生成 CRL。
如果你需要撤销该中间证书：
openssl ca -config ca.conf -revoke intermediate1.crt -keyfile rootca.key -cert rootca.crt
配置中间 CA
为该中间 CA 创建一个新文件夹，然后进入该文件夹：
mkdir ~/SSLCA/intermediate1/
cd ~/SSLCA/intermediate1/
从根 CA 拷贝中间证书和密钥：
cp ~/SSLCA/root/intermediate1.key ./
cp ~/SSLCA/root/intermediate1.crt ./
创建索引文件：
touch certindex
echo 1000> certserial
echo 1000> crlnumber
创建一个新的 ca.conf 文件：
# vim ca.conf
[ ca ]
default_ca = myca
[ crl_ext ]
issuerAltName=issuer:copy
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always
[ myca ]
dir =./

OCSP;URI.1= http://pki.backup.com/ocsp/
修改 [alt_names] 部分，添加你需要的主体备选名。如果你不需要主体备选名，请移除该部分包括subjectAltName = @alt_names的行。
如果你需要设置一个指定的生效/到期日期，请添加以下内容到 [myca]：
# format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
default_enddate =20191222035911
default_startdate =20181222035911
生成一个空白 CRL（同时以 PEM 和 DER 格式）：
openssl ca -config ca.conf -gencrl -keyfile rootca.key -cert rootca.crt -out rootca.crl.pem
openssl crl -inform PEM -in rootca.crl.pem -outform DER -out rootca.crl
生成末端用户证书
我们使用这个新的中间 CA 来生成一个末端用户证书，请重复以下操作来使用该 CA 为每个用户签署。
mkdir enduser-certs
生成末端用户的私钥：
openssl genrsa -out enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.key 4096
生成末端用户的 CSR：
openssl req -new-sha256 -key enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.key -out enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.csr
样例输出：
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a DistinguishedNameor a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,

使用中间 CA 签署末端用户的 CSR：

openssl crl -inform PEM -in intermediate1.crl.pem -outform DER -out intermediate1.crl
每次你使用该 CA 签署证书后，都需要生成 CRL。
如果你需要撤销该末端用户证书：
openssl ca -config ca.conf -revoke enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt -keyfile intermediate1.key -cert intermediate1.crt
样例输出：
Using configuration from ca.conf
RevokingCertificate1000.
DataBaseUpdated
通过连接根证书和中间证书来创建证书链文件。
cat ../root/rootca.crt intermediate1.crt > enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.chain
发送以下文件给末端用户：
enduser-example.com.crt
enduser-example.com.key
enduser-example.com.chain
你也可以让末端用户提供他们自己的 CSR，而只发送给他们这个 .crt 文件。不要把它从服务器删除，否则你就不能撤销了。
校验证书
你可以对证书链使用以下命令来验证末端用户证书：
openssl verify -CAfile enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.chain enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt
enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt: OK
你也可以针对 CRL 来验证。首先，将 PEM 格式的 CRL 和证书链相连接：
cat ../root/rootca.crt intermediate1.crt intermediate1.crl.pem > enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crl.chain
验证证书：
openssl verify -crl_check -CAfile enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crl.chain enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt
没有撤销时的输出：
enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt: OK
撤销后的输出如下：
enduser-certs/enduser-example.com.crt: CN = example.com, ST =NoordHolland, C = NL, O =ExampleInc, OU = IT Dept
