Small question re: Certificate creation

#1 Post by boco » 2018-11-02 20:10

When creating a new TLS certificate, is there any possibility for specifying subject alternative names (SANs)? If not, would it be possible to add?

I tried and failed, it's incredibly complicated using OpenSSL. Future versions of FileZilla Server will use GnuTLS.

Thanks, I tried with OpenSSL, too. I think I got it to work. Required a few steps (modifying the OpenSSL config file, using the right parameters).

Some of OpenSSL's configuration is beyond sanity, for normal users.

If you think the configuration for the user tool is insane, don't look at the developer API.
