Env: TeamSite 5.5.2 / AIX

Has anyone successfully created a CSR for this version? If so, what steps did you take?

TIA,

In case someone should ever need the resolution:

Here is what I had to do to "fix" the AIX issues:

(1) Edited CA.sh to make all paths to openssl absolute:

Changed:

REQ="openssl req $SSLEAY_CONFIG"
CA="openssl ca $SSLEAY_CONFIG"
VERIFY="openssl verify"
X509="openssl x509"

To:

REQ="/usr/iw-home/iw-webd/bin/openssl req $SSLEAY_CONFIG"
CA="/usr/iw-home/iw-webd/bin/openssl ca $SSLEAY_CONFIG"
VERIFY="/usr/iw-home/iw-webd/bin/openssl verify"
X509="/usr/iw-home/iw-webd/bin/openssl x509"

(2)I created a file called "ssl.rnd" with 1000+ random characters.

(3) Mapped the random file to openssl:

Type ./openssl (will give you an "OpenSSL>" prompt)
Type OpenSSL> newreq -rand name-of-random-file-created (i.e. OpenSSL> newreq -rand ssl.rnd)
Type OpenSSL> exit

(4) Business as usual:

Type ./CA.sh -newreq
