Unable to create X509 ca certificates with ed25519 keyed req certs. #6201
Description
Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to get this working for a little while - it seems this maybe a bug. Unsure.
So the process I've been using is:
sudo openssl genpkey -algorithm ED25519 -out private/ca.cheese.key.pem to generate the private key for the root ca
sudo openssl genpkey -algorithm ED25519 -out intermediate/private/int.cheese.key.pem to generate the private key for the intermediary
sudo openssl req -config openssl_root.cnf -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -key private/ca.cheese.key.pem -out certs/ca.cheese.crt.pem to create the root ca certificate.
sudo openssl req -config intermediate/openssl_intermediate.cnf -new -key intermediate/private/int.cheese.key.pem -out intermediate/csr/int.cheese.csr this is the generate the csr in preparation for getting the certificate signed
sudo openssl ca -config openssl_root.cnf -extensions v3_intermediate_ca -days 3600 -md sha256 -in intermediate/csr/int.cheese.csr -out intermediate/certs/int.cheese.crt.pem This is where it falls apart with
140523012273920:error:1010F08A:elliptic curve routines:pkey_ecd_ctrl:invalid digest type:crypto/ec/ecx_meth.c:783
When attempting debug - I have made sure in both intermediary and root ca cnf files make no mention to digest files. However I get an error message even after regenerating root and intermediary req files. The error is as follows for no default digest
139869736675072:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value:crypto/conf/conf_lib.c:275:group= name=unique_subject
This reads to me like it needs the message digest to be there in some manner; ive tried parsing NULL to it, tried just giving it garbage, tried SHA2-512 . All didn't work. Any ideas?
OH also you will probably need the cnf files I've been using for testing purposes.
