BUG? - Unable to generate CSR

bcjenkins

2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
built on Thu Feb 14 04:54:28 EST 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5

All fields filled out with the key length at 2048 and no option for digest algorithm.

The following input errors were detected:

Please select a valid Key Length.
Please select a valid Digest Algorithm.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I probably skipped something when adding the digest algorithm bits the other day. Can you open up a ticket on http://redmine.pfsense.org and reference this forum thread.

Thanks.

I'm seeing this too. For anyone else who's stumbled over this, it's Bug 2820 in redmine:

I never was able to reproduce the input error, but I just pushed a commit to add the digest algorithm field to the CSR page.

If that still doesn't work I may need a better idea of the exact inputs used to reproduce the error.

I just updated the bug with results from testing today's snapshot…the code change got rid of the Digest Algorithm error, but the error about the key length remains.

On a related note, if we're trying to get people to not use SHA1, wouldn't it make sense to pick a stronger message digest algorithm by default?

Thanks,

Bruce.

Are there values in the Key Length drop-down? What browser are you using?

So far I wasn't able to reproduce the failure here, even before my last change. I was always able to make a CSR.

As for the default, I thought about pre-selecting SHA256, I just didn't get around to actually doing it yet.

ok, found it and fixed it. For some reason I could only reproduce it on my alix, not a full install.

I also made the digest alg. default to sha256 while I was in there.

Works now on tonight's snapshot…thanks!
