system_certmanager.php?act=new: Add new select option to sign a CSR
Added by Anonymous over 7 years ago. Updated 6 months ago.

Description
Certificate Manager -> Certificates -> Add New: There would be a new select option 'Sign a Certificate Signing Request'. This would allow the user to paste a CSR, then pick a CA from the pfSense configuration to sign that CSR.
THe signed certificate would be presented on-screen to allow it to be copied to the clipboard, or downloaded to the user's workstation.

Option not displayed in Cert. Manager GUI. Checked CAs, Certificates, and Certificate Revocation. The option doesn't appear in any of the method drop downs.

Use a build from after the time the change was made. Your build was made at 0021 hrs, the new code was added at 1300 hrs. You should see it in the next snapshot.

Build 2.4.0.b.20170314.2306
The option "Sign a Certificate Signing Request" is now present.
Created a signing request against the local CA.
The request was listed. Selecting it from the list did not import the signing request data or key into the textboxes and it wasn't clear where to obtain the CSR Key in the required format.
I downloaded and copied the text from the requests .key file (which may not be correct) and received an OpenSSL error :-
openssl library returns: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line
Not sure if this is user error on my part or a code issue.

Option not available. What am I missing? Isn't this a later snapshot? Maybe that would be a good feature - the ability to select from the 20 most current snapshots if you're on the development train.

I also get "openssl library returns: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line" when attempting to sign an existing CSR or one pasted in to import.

A fix for the Openssl library error is on the way.
Select Method->Sign a Certificate Signing Request
Use the "CSR to sign" control to select an existing CSR, or select "New" to paste in a new one.
If creating a new one:
Paste the PEM formatted CSR into the CSR Data textbox
The Key data field is optional and can be used to associate a private key with the newly signed cert in the pfSense configuration
Click "Save"

Build 2.4.0.b.20170323.1221
I was able to create a signing request and sign it via the UI.
The CSR remained in the certificates list after being signed and I was able to sign it again. If this is correct behaviour then we can close this issue.

That's the problem, it has "NEW" in it. At least the ones generated on pfSense only have "BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST". I added another check to allow your variant to pass and it works when I try it.

Also, as of 0c82b8c2a77bba6b2b3ab42a880c0e478ebc70f6 I have changed how this operates slightly, there were a couple other bugs lingering and missing functionality I added in. It should be solid on the next round of snapshots.
