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]

company)
