OpenSSL [ca] Section in Configuration File
How to provide OpenSSL "ca" command options in the configuration file? I see examples of using the [ca] section.

Yes, you can use the [ca] section to help providing OpenSSL "ca" command options in the configuration file. But there are 4 ways to provide "ca" command options:
1. Using unnamed section - You can put all "ca" command options in the unnamed section of the configuration file. You need to set "default_ca=empty" and keep [empty] empty. For example:
# Unnamed section of generic options ... # "ca" command options default_ca = empty default_md = md5 serial = ./my_ca/certs.seq new_certs_dir = ./my_ca/certs database = ./my_ca/certs.db ... # empty section [empty]
2. Using named default section - You can put all "ca" command options in a named section, like "[my_ca_default]", in the configuration file. Then you can set "default_ca=my_ca_default" in the unnamed section. For example:
# Unnamed section of generic options ... default_ca = my_ca_default # default section for "ca" command options [my_ca_default] default_md = md5 serial = ./my_ca/certs.seq new_certs_dir = ./my_ca/certs database = ./my_ca/certs.db ...
3. Using named default section and [ca] section - You can put all "ca" command options in a named section, like "[my_ca_default]", in the configuration file. Then you can set "default_ca=my_ca_default" in the [ca] section. For example:
# Unnamed section of generic options ... # section for the "default_ca" option [ca] default_ca = my_ca_default # default section for "ca" command options [my_ca_default] default_md = md5 serial = ./my_ca/certs.seq new_certs_dir = ./my_ca/certs database = ./my_ca/certs.db ...
4. Using named section used by the command line - You can put all "ca" command options in a named section, like "[my_ca_internal]", in the configuration file. Then you use "ca -name=my_ca_internal" command line to access them. For example:
# Unnamed section of generic options ... # section for the "default_ca" option [ca] default_ca = my_ca_default # default section for "ca" command options [my_ca_default] # section for "ca" command options for internal certificates [my_ca_internal] default_md = md5 serial = ./my_ca_internal/certs.seq new_certs_dir = ./my_ca_internal/certs database = ./my_ca_internal/certs.db ...
