Hi, I've been trying to connect to fred-server from fred-client for a long time, but I'couldn not do so. I think that is all about certificates, because this procedures are not deeply explained in documentations. I would be very pleased if someone can tell me where to find the correct procedures.

The procedure I followed to get certificates and keys, is this one:
  1. download CA.pl
  2. run ./CA.pl -new ca
  3. copy generated demoCA/cacert.pem to /usr/share/fred-mod-eppd/ssl/
  4. run ./CA.pl -newreq
  5. run CA.pl -sign
  6. move generated newcert.pem and newkey.pem to /usr/share/fred-mod-eppd/ssl/ and remove newreq.pem in CA.pl's directory
  7. run again CA.pl -newreq
  8. run again CA.pl -sign
  9. move generated cert and key to /usr/share/fred-mod-eppd/ssl/
After that, I get client and mod-eppd configured to point these files, and run the following script to insert registrars into database:

#!/bin/bash
MD5=$(openssl x509 -in /usr/local/share/fred-client/ssl/newcert.pem -fingerprint -noout -md5)
HANDLE=$1
PASSWORD=$2
NAME=$3
psql -U fred fred << _EOF_
INSERT INTO registrar (handle,name) VALUES ('${HANDLE}','${NAME}');
INSERT INTO registraracl (registrarid,cert,password) VALUES (currval('registrar_id_seq'),'${MD5}','${PASSWORD}');
_EOF_

When starting apache, got this error.log:

Following this, configured fred-client to use the two inserted registrars to login. When running fred-client, input passphrase used to generate client's cert, and getting this output:

FRED:/home/fred# fred-client

Enter PEM pass phrase:
