openssl_csr_new — Generates a CSR
$dn
, resource &$privkey
[, array $configargs
[, array $extraattribs
]] ) openssl_csr_new() generates a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
based on the information provided by dn
, which represents the
Distinguished Name to be used in the certificate.
Note: 必须安装有效的 openssl.cnf 以保证此函数正确运行。参考有关安装的说明以获得更多信息。
dn
The Distinguished Name to be used in the certificate.
privkey
privkey
should be set to a private key that was
previously generated by openssl_pkey_new() (or
otherwise obtained from the other openssl_pkey family of functions).
The corresponding public portion of the key will be used to sign the
CSR.
configargs
By default, the information in your system openssl.conf
is used to initialize the request; you can specify a configuration file
section by setting the config_section_section key of
configargs
. You can also specify an alternative
openssl configuration file by setting the value of the
config key to the path of the file you want to use.
The following keys, if present in configargs
behave as their equivalents in the openssl.conf, as
listed in the table below.
configargs key | type | openssl.conf equivalent | description |
---|---|---|---|
digest_alg | string | default_md | Selects which digest method to use |
x509_extensions | string | x509_extensions | Selects which extensions should be used when creating an x509 certificate |
req_extensions | string | req_extensions | Selects which extensions should be used when creating a CSR |
private_key_bits | integer | default_bits | Specifies how many bits should be used to generate a private key |
private_key_type | integer | none | Specifies the type of private key to create. This can be one
of OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_DSA ,
OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_DH or
OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA .
The default value is OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA which
is currently the only supported key type.
|
encrypt_key | boolean | encrypt_key | Should an exported key (with passphrase) be encrypted? |
encrypt_key_cipher | integer | none | One of cipher constants. |
extraattribs
extraattribs
is used to specify additional
configuration options for the CSR. Both dn
and
extraattribs
are associative arrays whose keys are
converted to OIDs and applied to the relevant part of the request.
Returns the CSR.
Example #1 Creating a self-signed-certificate
<?php
// Fill in data for the distinguished name to be used in the cert
// You must change the values of these keys to match your name and
// company, or more precisely, the name and company of the person/site
// that you are generating the certificate for.
// For SSL certificates, the commonName is usually the domain name of
// that will be using the certificate, but for S/MIME certificates,
// the commonName will be the name of the individual who will use the
// certificate.
$dn = array(
"countryName" => "UK" ,
"stateOrProvinceName" => "Somerset" ,
"localityName" => "Glastonbury" ,
"organizationName" => "The Brain Room Limited" ,
"organizationalUnitName" => "PHP Documentation Team" ,
"commonName" => "Wez Furlong" ,
"emailAddress" => "wez@example.com"
);
// Generate a new private (and public) key pair
$privkey = openssl_pkey_new ();
// Generate a certificate signing request
$csr = openssl_csr_new ( $dn , $privkey );
// You will usually want to create a self-signed certificate at this
// point until your CA fulfills your request.
// This creates a self-signed cert that is valid for 365 days
$sscert = openssl_csr_sign ( $csr , null , $privkey , 365 );
// Now you will want to preserve your private key, CSR and self-signed
// cert so that they can be installed into your web server, mail server
// or mail client (depending on the intended use of the certificate).
// This example shows how to get those things into variables, but you
// can also store them directly into files.
// Typically, you will send the CSR on to your CA who will then issue
// you with the "real" certificate.
openssl_csr_export ( $csr , $csrout ) and var_dump ( $csrout );
openssl_x509_export ( $sscert , $certout ) and var_dump ( $certout );
openssl_pkey_export ( $privkey , $pkeyout , "mypassword" ) and var_dump ( $pkeyout );
// Show any errors that occurred here
while (( $e = openssl_error_string ()) !== false ) {
echo $e . "\n" ;
}

When in doubt, read the source code to PHP!
$configargs is fairly opaque as to what is going on behind the scenes. That is, until you actually look at php_openssl_parse_config() in '/ext/openssl/openssl.c':
SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG("digest_alg", req->digest_name,
CONF_get_string(req->req_config, req->section_name, "default_md"));
SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG("x509_extensions", req->extensions_section,
CONF_get_string(req->req_config, req->section_name, "x509_extensions"));
SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG("req_extensions", req->request_extensions_section,
CONF_get_string(req->req_config, req->section_name, "req_extensions"));
SET_OPTIONAL_LONG_ARG("private_key_bits", req->priv_key_bits,
CONF_get_number(req->req_config, req->section_name, "default_bits"));
SET_OPTIONAL_LONG_ARG("private_key_type", req->priv_key_type, OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_DEFAULT);
Here we can see that SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG() is called for most inputs but for 'private_key_bits' SET_OPTIONAL_LONG_ARG() is called. Both calls are C macros that expand to code that enforces the expected input type. The generated code ignores the input without warning/notice if an unexpected type is used and just uses the default from the configuration file. This is why using a string with 'private_key_bits' will result in unexpected behavior.
Further inspection of the earlier initialization in the same function:
SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG("config", req->config_filename, default_ssl_conf_filename);
SET_OPTIONAL_STRING_ARG("config_section_name", req->section_name, "req");
req->global_config = CONF_load(NULL, default_ssl_conf_filename, NULL);
req->req_config = CONF_load(NULL, req->config_filename, NULL);
if (req->req_config == NULL) {
return FAILURE;
}
And elsewhere in another function:
if (config_filename == NULL) {
snprintf(default_ssl_conf_filename, sizeof(default_ssl_conf_filename), "%s/%s",
X509_get_default_cert_area(),
"openssl.cnf");
} else {
strlcpy(default_ssl_conf_filename, config_filename, sizeof(default_ssl_conf_filename));
}
Reveals that 'config' in $configargs is an override for any default setting elsewhere. This actually negates the comment in the documentation that says "Note: You need to have a valid openssl.cnf installed for this function to operate correctly. See the notes under the installation section for more information." A more correct sentence would be "Note: You need to either have a valid openssl.cnf set up or use $configargs to point at a valid openssl.cnf file for this function to operate correctly."
All of that goes to show that looking at the PHP source code is the only real way to figure out what is actually happening. Doing so saves time and effort.

For those of you using Debian-based systems, the openssl configuration file is at: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
[#3] alex at nodex dot co dot uk [2014-12-17 10:59:21]
In the PHP example above it uses "UK" as the country name which is incorrect, the country name must be "GB"
[#4] Richard Lynch [2013-07-17 15:49:14]
There appears to be no openssl_csr_free function.
At least not here.
If it's in the source, one might be able to just call it.
If it's not in the source, it probably should be.
[#5] The_Lost_One [2009-09-18 07:45:18]
Not sure whether the "bug" (undocumented behavior) I encountered is common to other people, but this comment might save hours of painful debug:
If you can't generate a new private key using openssl_pkey_new() or openssl_csr_new(), your script hangs during the call of these functions and in case you specified a "private_key_bits" parameter, ensure that you cast the variable to an int. Took me ages to notice that.
<?php
$SSLcnf = array('config' => '/usr/local/nessy2/share/ssl/openssl.cnf',
'encrypt_key' => true,
'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
'digest_alg' => 'sha1',
'x509_extensions' => 'v3_ca',
'private_key_bits' => $someVariable // ---> bad
'private_key_bits' => (int)$someVariable // ---> good
'private_key_bits' => 512 // ---> obviously good
);
?>

To set the "basicConstraints" to "critical,CA:TRUE", you have to define configargs, but in the openssl_csr_sign() function !
That's my example of code to sign a "child" certificate :
$CAcrt = "file://ca.crt";
$CAkey = array("file://ca.key", "myPassWord");
$clientKeys = openssl_pkey_new();
$dn = array(
"countryName" => "FR",
"stateOrProvinceName" => "Finistere",
"localityName" => "Plouzane",
"organizationName" => "Ecole Nationale d'Ingenieurs de Brest",
"organizationalUnitName" => "Enib Students",
"commonName" => "www.enib.fr",
"emailAddress" => "ilovessl@php.net"
);
$csr = openssl_csr_new($dn, $clientPrivKey);
$configArgs = array("x509_extensions" => "v3_req");
$cert = openssl_csr_sign($csr, $CAcrt, $CAkey, 100, $configArgs);
openssl_x509_export_to_file($cert, "childCert.crt");
Then if you want to add some more options, you can edit the "/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf" ssl config' file (debian path), and add these after the [ v3_req ] tag.
[#7] dylan at pow7 dot com [2007-07-04 17:45:22]
Is there some way to change the distinguished name using this function? I have tried adding overrides to the dn to configargs and extraattribs but this did not have an impact on the certificate.
Example: A CSR is submitted and I want to change only the commonName (CN) before signing the certificate.
[#8] gonzak at op dot pl [2006-02-14 10:57:31]
How in openssl_csr_new usign [, array configargs [, array extraattribs]]
because I am have add this extension to certificate

If you get the error:
error:0D11A086:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_copy:string too short
then look at your key:value pairs in the $dn (distinguished name) array.
If you have one value (like "organizationalUnitName" = "") set to an empty string, it will throw the above error.
Fix the error by either eliminating that array element from $dn completely, or using a space " " instead of an empty string.
[#10] robertliu AT wiscore DOT com [2005-05-12 20:12:00]
I am using PHP-4.3.11.
The type of configargs--private_key_bits is a INTEGER, not a string.
An example of configration:
<?php
$config = array(
"digest_alg" => "sha1",
"private_key_bits" => 2048,
"private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_DSA,
"encrypt_key" => false
);
?>
[#11] dankybastard at hotmail [2005-02-09 06:31:41]
As you probably guessed from the example, the documentation is misinforming. openssl_csr_new returns a CSR resource or FALSE on failure.
mixed openssl_csr_new (assoc_array dn, resource_privkey, [...])
