Software authentication
Some AM units are not supplied with hardware crypto-tokens. These
units can still perform authentication using the openssl package. To
set up an AM using openssl:
1. Change into the CD1.1 transmitter's configuration directory
using
cd /etc/libcd11
2. Generate the DSA parameters file with
openssl dsaparam -out slot01.prm key-length
where key-length is the size of the key you wish to be
generated (normally 1024.)
3. Generate the public and private keys with
openssl dsaparam -in slot01.prm -out slot01.key -genkey
4. Create a configuration file in the format
[req]
default_bits = key-length
distinguished_name = req_dn
[req_dn]
