Signing the Client Certificate

For testing purposes, the same Certificate Authority cacert.pem that was created in topic Creating the Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate can be used.

To sign the certificate request using the openssl utility and the cacert.pem Certificate Authority

1. In OpenSSL, run the following command:

   ca -policy policy_anything -out jobmanager-cert.cer -config ssl.cnf -infiles certreq.txt.

   Opening this file creates a certificate called jobmanager-cert.cer.

2. Change the certificate file jobmanager-cert.cer into an X509 file:

   Remove all lines that appear before the text ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
   and after the text ----END CERTIFICATE----.

   The certificate file should be similar to the following example:

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIICcjCCAdugAwIBAgIBEjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADBkMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEL
