Other features
The ssl-admin utility has some other features that someone managing a PKI may find interesting. The index is searchable (option 8), which shows a given certificate's status. Display of the current CRL is also possible (option 7). ssl-admin is capable of packaging OpenVPN configuration files with certificates for users both in an inline format (option i
), as well as separate files—all contained in a zip file (option z
). These last two options will be discussed further into this book, as we generate server and client configurations.
