I also tried the cert which is produced by:
CA.pl -newca
and this cert works with nginx! I trust you are aware that there are different types of certificates?
Once upon a time some were marketed as 'web certificates' specifically for web sites/server ... And others for email and others ...
Now it seems that they have more to do with scope and validity.
Individual ... Site ... Domain ... Multiple domains
and how 'verified' it is.
What scope & validation do you expect a self-signed cert to have?
I hope I got your question right ;) I just want to use the certificate for "private" use, which means, that it is just a small owncloud, which I want to use to sync my calendars and contacts and smaller files with my android phone and my laptops. Unfortunately Android requires x.509v3 extension for certificates where the CA-Flag is true. Anyway I must confess, that I don´t really know much about certificates and security, but it still seems quite obscure to me what a Ca-Authority is and how it is connected to the certificate my webserver is using and why android demands this extension… Thanks anyway for your reply, altough I am quite aware, that this might be the wrong place for such a question, but I couldn´t really find a forum or something like that for certificates and stuff… Night, Benjamin. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
