SSL certificate generation error 8016
Hi guys,

I'm trying to generate a key using the genkey command in centos 6.4 and RHEL6.4, Every thing seems to go cool but I get this error message bad certificate request error -8016 and no key/cert is generated. I don't want use the many openssl(s) commands instead since genkey is a shourtcut for all of these openssl commands.

I used to do like

Code:
#genkey example.com

Thanks

It is a known bug in 6.4. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921108. A workaround is provided in the bug report.

Can I downgrade to a specific package to get this issue done?

Sure. Downgrading nss package to 3.13.6 apparently resolves the issue

VIVA, I did the update for the NSS package instead of downgrading (I tried the downgrade first and yum answered that only upgrade package available) and it worked!! Smilie

And this is what I did:

Code:
# yum upgrade nss

And this is the log of yum
