Is openssl '-batch' command line option deprecated or hidden? - security

I have figured out a set of SSL commands (using openssl tool) to create the private key, CSR and ultimately, the certificate.
Root key and certificate:
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private/ca.key.pem 4096
openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/ca.key.pem -new -x509 -days 7300 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca -out certs/ca.cert.pem
Client SSL key and certificate:
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private/client.key.pem 2048
openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/client.key.pem -new -sha256 -out csr/client.csr.pem
openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -extensions usr_cert -days 375 -notext -md sha256 -in csr/client.csr.pem -out certs/client.cert.pem
However, at the third step of client SSL certificate creation, the tool asks couple of further (interactive) questions as follows:
openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -extensions server_cert -days 375 -notext -md sha256 -in csr/www.example.com.csr.pem -out certs/www.example.com.cert.pem
Using configuration from openssl.cnf
Enter pass phrase for /Users/myssl/private/ca.key.pem:
Check that the request matches the signature

The above two prompts goes off only after adding the '-batch' option to the command line. However, I did not find any mention or help on the 'man openssl' page.
I am using openssl version 1.0.2k. Is this option deprecated or it is hidden? It still works and makes the above command non-interactive.

mosquitto mqtt broker tls problem. IP doesn not match certificate's altnames

I have provided the broker and the client with certificates. The broker is avaible at 172.27.224.1.
When I try to connect with the client, I get following error message:
Error [ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID]: Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: IP: 172.27.224.1 is not in the cert's list:

issuer: [Object: null prototype] {
C: 'DE',
ST: 'Some-State',
O: '',
OU: '',
CN: '172.27.224.1'
},
[...]
What's the error here? The ca.crt is a self signed cert with issued for 172.27.224.1 and issued from 172.27.224.1. The client.crt is issed from 172.27.224.1 and issued for "username".
should't this work?
Steps I used to generate the certificate:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -days 1826 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048
openssl req -new -out client.csr -key client.key
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 360
I use for the client node.js v16.13 and the mqtt library.
Assuming you are using OpenSSL to create the CA cert then you can do it as follows:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -days 3650 -sha256 \
-keyout ca.key -out ca.crt -reqexts SAN -extensions SAN \
-subj '/CN=Broker Cert' \
-config <(cat /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf; printf "[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=IP:172.27.224.1")
This makes an assumption that you are using a openss.cnf file stored at /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
But as a rule it's better to create a CA cert and then sign server certs with that as it makes changing things easier and you don't need to update all the clients when you want to change something. It also makes issuing client certificates a lot easier.
Please do still update the question with details of the programming language and client library you are using that is now enforcing the SAN rules.

So i have made a ssl certificate for my localhost, but the connection is refused,what should be done?

Your Node application quits as soon as you hit ctrl-c to run the curl command.
You either have to open a second terminal instance for curl or run the Node application as a process, by using something like PM2.

OpenSSL error - unable to get local issuer certificate

I have a simple chain setup and can successfully verify in this case:
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2m 2 Nov 2017
$ openssl verify -CAfile chain.pem cert.pem
cert.pem: OK
However I get errors in these cases:
$ openssl verify -CAfile ca-cert.pem cert.pem
cert.pem: C = US...
error 2 at 1 depth lookup:unable to get issuer certificate
Specifically the unable to get issuer certificate.
Also get it here:
$ openssl verify chain.pem
chain.pem: C = US...
error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
$ openssl verify cert.pem
cert.pem: C...
error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
Finally, I get it in Node.js when I pass the keys to an HTTPS server:
events.js:193
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1036:34)
at emitNone (events.js:115:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:218:7)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:637:8)
I tried passing it with { key, cert, ca }, but still same error.
Wondering how to go about debugging this or what the fix is to get an HTTPS server running.
If I use a pfx file I get the following:
events.js:193
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

at emitNone (events.js:115:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:218:7)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:637:8)
If I leave only the cert.pem in the cert file, and make the ca attribute be the ca-cert.pem, it gives:
Error: unable to verify the first certificate
at TLSSocket.<anonymous> (_tls_wrap.js:1108:38)

at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:468:38)
Not sure what to do.
Here they say:
OpenSSL is unable to find a local certificate for the issuer (or the issuer of the first certificate in the chain received from the web server during the TLS handshake) with which to verify the signature(s).
Not sure what that means.
This error means the certificate path or chain is broken and you are missing certificate files.

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Fix_depth_lookup:unable_to_get_issuer_certificate
Update
Slightly more help:
This problem is usually indicated by log messages saying something like "unable to get local issuer certificate" or "self signed certificate". When a certificate is verified its root CA must be "trusted" by OpenSSL this typically means that the CA certificate must be placed in a directory or file and the relevant program configured to read it. The OpenSSL program 'verify' behaves in a similar way and issues similar error messages: check the verify(1) program manual page for more information.
https://www.openssl.org/docs/faq.html#USER6
But still doesn't help very much.
Looks like Node.js is using a 1.0.2l instead of 1.0.2m but doesn't seem like a big deal.
$ node -pe process.versions | grep openssl
openssl: '1.0.2l'
Update 2
Weird, I get this when I make a request from Node.js:
Uncaught Error: unable to verify the first certificate
at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1036:34)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:637:8)
But when I go to the browser, I don't see the "Proceed with caution" page, and can successfully log a request in Node.js. Maybe that helps somewhat. Please help :D
(This answer extracted from X509_verify_cert at crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c:204, in openssl-1.0.2m)
The OpenSSL verify application verifies a certificate in the following way: It builds the certificate chain starting with the target certificate, and tracing the issuer chain, searching any untrusted certificates supplied along with the target cert first. Upon failing to find an untrusted issuer cert, OpenSSL switches to the trusted certificate store and continues building the chain. This process stops when
an issuer is not found in the trusted store.
a self-signed certificate is encountered.
the max-verify depth is encountered.
At this point we have a chain that may end prematurely (if we failed to find an issuer, or if we exceeded the verify depth).
OpenSSL then scans over each trusted certificate on the chain looking for SSLv3 extensions that specify the purpose of the trusted certificate. If the trusted certificate has the right "trust" attributes for the "purpose" of the verification operation (or has the anyExtendedKeyUsage attribute) the chain is trusted. (Forgive the hand-wave on trust attributes, that part of the code was difficult to read.)
So lets test it out. First, let's repro the OP's error cases:
#

Now, lets use the -addtrust option of openssl x509 to make sure we have one of the acceptable trust attributes on the intermediate CA (call this one IntermediateCAWithTrust; we'll use it to sign AnotherUserCert.):
echo ""
echo "Alternate Intermedate CA (using -addtrust anyExtendedKeyUsage)"
echo ""
echo "Making IntermediateCAWithTrust..."

echo ""
echo "Verfying AnotherUserCert via IntermediateCAWithTrust..."
openssl verify -CAfile int-crt2.pem usr-crt2.pem
This yields
Alternate Intermedate CA (using -addtrust anyExtendedKeyUsage)
Making IntermediateCAWithTrust...
[... Snip more OpenSSL generation output ...]
Making AnotherUser Cert...
[... Snip more OpenSSL generation output ...]
Verfying AnotherUserCert via IntermediateCAWithTrust...
usr-crt2.pem: OK
Hey look! we just successfully verified AnotherUserCert via the IntermediateCAWithTrust, even though we didn't supply the whole chain. The key to this difference is that any one of the trusted certificates in the chain had an appropriate trust attribute for the verify operation.
Looking a little closer (via openssl x509 -in ca-crt.pem -noout -text), our CA certificate has
X509v3 Basic Constraints:
CA:TRUE
which I would imagine OpenSSL treats as a general "may verify for any purpose" extension. The new IntermediateCAWithTrust does not have X509v3 Basic Constraints, but instead has
Trusted Uses:
Any Extended Key Usage
No Rejected Uses.
For more info in the -addtrust option, and the types of trust attributes that can be added, see https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/x509.html#TRUST_SETTINGS
Near the bottom of that page is a concise summary of the preceding discussion:
The basicConstraints extension CA flag is used to determine whether
the certificate can be used as a CA. If the CA flag is true then it is
a CA, if the CA flag is false then it is not a CA. All CAs should have
the CA flag set to true.
If the basicConstraints extension is absent then the certificate is
considered to be a "possible CA" other extensions are checked
according to the intended use of the certificate. A warning is given
in this case because the certificate should really not be regarded as
a CA: however it is allowed to be a CA to work around some broken
software.
So, in short, make sure your intermediate CAs are properly CAs (in their X509v3 Basic Constraints). This seems an excellent tutorial (and it explicitly generates the intermediate CA as a CA): https://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/create-the-root-pair.html
As a backup plan, you can always supply the whole chain, or you can make your intermediate CAs with the -addtrust hack.

Logstash and logstash-forwarder ssl error

But if I run logstash-forwarder on app server i get an error:

What's wrong?
I faced the similar kind of issue and fixed it. Looks like you didn't have any DNS set for you logstash index server. In this case you have to set SAN to openssl.cnf and regenerate the cert along with key.
How to set SAN?
sudo vi /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
Find the [ v3_ca ] section in the file, and add this line under it (substituting in the Logstash Index Server's IP address):
subjectAltName = IP: logstash__index_server_private_ip
After that try regenerating your cert and key
cd /etc/pki/tls
sudo openssl req -config /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf -x509 -days 3650 -batch -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private/logstash-forwarder.key -out certs/logstash-forwarder.crt
And change your config file to point the cert and key from both end(index and forwarder) accordingly. Hope this will workout for you.

openssl/curl with the same curl-ca-bundle.crt will verify certs from google.com:443 etc. just fine.
I also ran into this (and I'm very surprised more people haven't.) when I couldn't get a NodeJS HTTP(s) client to connect to an IIS instance with a self-signed-certificate on it (one created through IIS manager) Just got the dreaded' unable to verify the first certificate error!
It seems that this is because the certificates that IISManager creates for this purpose specify some 'Key Usage' extensions; 'Key Encipherment' and 'Data Encipherment'.
It turns out that when openssl encounters a certificate that specifies 'Key Usage' but fails to specify the 'certSign' usage then the openssl code will discount that certificate as a possible CA certificate even if it has been correctly provided to the openssl code (meaning it is unable to verify the certificate against said absent CA!).
(See the logic here https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/6f0ac0e2f27d9240516edb9a23b7863e7ad02898/crypto/x509v3/v3_purp.c#L503 )
The solution is as the one already above, which is to create your own certificates with the correct key usages (or no key usage extensions!)
I also thought I should include an alternative way of creating the Self Signed certificate that openssl clients would be happy with if you're in windows land.
First download the powershell script from here
In a powershell console (Administrative) execute the following commands from within a folder that contains the downloaded scripts

Once you've executed the above command your LocalMachine\Personal Certificates store will contain a self-signed certificate that can be used by IIS for its SSL communications. (Please note you may also need to copy this certificate into one of the Trusted Root stores as well to guarantee that the certificate is trusted on that machine)
I solved this by using openssl to create a self-signed CA cert, then created a server cert request (also in OpenSSL, for some reason openssl does not like to sign requests generated by IIS), signed it with the former CA cert, then exported to PKCS12. Then imported into IIS. Once the CA cert is added to curl-ca-bundle.crt, it will verify the chain correctly:
Generate a CA:
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -extensions v3_ca \
-keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf \
-newkey rsa:2048
Generate a server key and signing request:
openssl req -new -nodes -out server-csr.pem -keyout server-key.pem -newkey rsa:2048
Sign the request with the CA:
openssl ca -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf -cert cacert.pem -keyfile cakey.pem \
-out server-cert.pem -in server-csr.pem
Export the server cert to PKCS#12:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out server-key-cert.pfx \
-inkey server-key.pem -in server-cert.pem -certfile cacert.pem
Import server-key-cert.pfx into IIS. (Re)bind the site binding's SSL binding to the cert.
Append cacert.pem to clients' curl-ca-bundle.crt. openssl s_client -showcerts -CAfile curl-ca-bundle.crt -connect server:443 has depth 0 and 1 and will verify return.
Notes: Make sure that keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment is enabled under section [usr_cert] in openssl.cnf else requests won't contain those keyUsage and IIS will complain on binding.
