# Lab 02 - Certificates
## Create Working Environment
```sh
mkdir -p /root/ca
cd /root/ca
mkdir certs crl newcerts private
chmod 700 private
```
## Create Private Key
```sh
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out private/ca.key.pem
```
## Create Public Key
```sh
openssl pkey -in private/ca.key.pem -out ca.key.pem.pub -pubout
```
## Create Certificate Authority
Run using `sudo -i`:
```sh
touch index.txt
echo 1000 > serial
```
Create OpenSSL config:
```sh
vi /root/ca/openssl.cnf
```
***`/root/ca/openssl.cnf`:***
```ini
# OpenSSL root CA configuration file.

Create root certificate:
```sh
openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/ca.key.pem -new -x509 -days 7300 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca -out certs/ca.cert.pem
```
## Create Certificate Signing Request
```sh
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
```
## Create Certificate Chain
```sh
mkdir -p /root/intermediate
echo 1000 > /root/intermediate/serial
echo 0100 > /root/intermediate/crlnumber
```
Configure OpenSSL:
```sh
vi /root/intermediate/openssl_intermediate.cnf
```

```
```sh
openssl genrsa -out /root/intermediate/intermediate.key.pem 4096
```
Requesting and signing intermediate certificate:
```sh
cd /root/intermediate
# Create Request
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -key intermediate.key.pem -out intermediate.req
# Sign Certificate
openssl ca -config /root/ca/openssl.cnf -extensions v3_intermediate_ca -days 3650 -notext -md sha256 -in intermediate.req -out intermediate.cer
```
