OpenSSL "ca" Error "lookup failed for ca::default_ca"
Why I am getting the "variable lookup failed for ca::default_ca" error when running OpenSSL "ca" command?
✍: FYIcenter.com
You are getting the "variable lookup failed for ca::default_ca" error,
because OpenSSL "ca" command can not find the required "default_ca" option
in the configuration file.
For example, if you have the follow configuration file, test.cnf, without "default_ca" option defined:
C:\Users\fyicenter>type test.cnf # Unnamed section of generic options default_md = md5
You will get an error, because "default_ca" is a required option:
C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe OpenSSL> ca -in test.csr -keyfile my_ca.key -cert my_ca.crt -config test.cnf Using configuration from test.cnf variable lookup failed for ca::default_ca 5956:error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string: no value:.\crypto\conf\conf_lib.c:324:group=ca name=default_ca error in ca
Fixing this error is easy. Just add the "default_ca" option in the unnamed section or in the [ca] section of the configuration file:
C:\Users\fyicenter>type test.cnf # Unnamed section of generic options # section for the "default_ca" option [ca] default_ca = my_ca_default
⇒ OpenSSL "ca" Error "... directory for new certificate ..."
