note 93618 added to function.openssl-csr-new

Not sure whether the "bug" (undocumented behavior) I encountered is common to other people, but this comment might save hours of painful debug: If you can't generate a new private key using openssl_pkey_new() or openssl_csr_new(), your script hangs during the call of these functions and in case you specified a "private_key_bits" parameter, ensure that you cast the variable to an int. Took me ages to notice that. <?php $SSLcnf = array('config' => '/usr/local/nessy2/share/ssl/openssl.cnf', 'encrypt_key' => true, 'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA, 'digest_alg' => 'sha1', 'x509_extensions' => 'v3_ca', 'private_key_bits' => $someVariable // ---> bad 'private_key_bits' => (int)$someVariable // ---> good 'private_key_bits' => 512 // ---> obviously good ); ?> ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 82.226.168.45 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-csr-new.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93618 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93618 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93618 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
