SSL Certificate Maker 2.0
Version 2.0
Version 2.0 adds some capabilities to the app while attempting to retain the extreme simplicity of the original design.
Breaking Changes
- Generated certificates are now kept in subfolders named either
CA
orCERT
depending on their purpose.CA
folder for certificate authoritiesCERT
folder for regular certificates (e.g. for a web server)
- The Issuer/Certificate Authority dropdown list is now populated only from items in the "CA" subfolder.
- If upgrading from version 1.x, it is advisable to move all existing certificates to the above mentioned subfolders depending on their intended purpose.
Changes
- The app is now aware of and will persist certificate chains (certificates of the issuers, in a chain leading back to a root certificate authority) when creating or converting certificates.
- When dealing with
.cer & .key
files, the full chain must be included in the.cer
file. The app does not support the use of a separate file for the chain. - When writing the chain to a
.cer
file, the app will order certificates such that each certificate is the issuer of the one above it. Any ordering is acceptable when reading an existing.cer
file; the app will figure out the correct order as long as the chain is unbroken. - The app will not read from the operating system's certificate store when attempting to resolve the certificate chain.
- When dealing with
- Key Usage and Extended Key Usage attributes may now be set in new certificates.
- Added "preset" buttons for "CA" and "Web Server" certificate creation. These buttons assign reasonable default settings, particularly for Key Usage and Extended Key Usage.
- Basic Constraints are now set in new certificates, identifying if it is a Certificate Authority or not. A certificate will be considered a CA if its Key Usage attributes are "CRL Signing" and "Certificate Signing".
SSL Certificate Maker 1.0.1
