I'm trying to create a self signed certificate for localhost containing subjectAltName to satisfy Chrome 58+:

createcertificate.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
filename="$1server"
openssl req -new -sha256 -nodes -out ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.key -config <( cat ${filename}_csr.txt )
openssl x509 -req -in ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.csr -CA ~/ssl/rootCA.pem -CAkey ~/ssl/rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.crt -days 500 -sha256

server_csr.txt:

[req]
default_bits = 2048
prompt = no
default_md = sha256
req_extensions = req_ext
distinguished_name = dn

[ dn ]
C=US
ST=New York
L=Rochester
O=End Point
OU=Testing Domain
emailAddress=your-administrative-address@your-awesome-existing-domain.com
CN = localhost

[ req_ext ]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[ alt_names ]
DNS.1 = localhost

Call ./createcertificate.sh:

server_csr.txt
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

Getting CA Private Key
Enter pass phrase for /home/alexzeitler/ssl/rootCA.key:

But Chrome 58 still refuses the certificate:

This server could not prove that it is localhost; its security certificate is from [missing_subjectAltName]. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. 

This is the output of openssl req -in ../nginx/ssl/server.csr -noout -text:

Thus, the Subject Alternative Name information seems to exist in the csr.

On the other hand openssl x509 -text -in ../nginx/ssl/server.crt -noout outputs:

The .crt doesn't contain the Subject Alternative Name.

  • Your still going to have to trust the certificate by adding it to the certificate store have you done that?

  • I added the rootCA.crt to the trusted CA certs in Chrome (on Ubuntu) Apr 23, 2017 at 15:30
  • Firefox - not enforcing subjectAltName - accepts the cert, by the way. Apr 23, 2017 at 15:31

While reading the documentation for subjectAltName, I noticed, that my certificate has shown Version: 1 while the documentation show Version: 3.

To get a Version 3 certificate, I specified the -extfile option:

sudo openssl x509 -req -in ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.csr -CA ~/ssl/rootCA.pem -CAkey ~/ssl/rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out ./../nginx/ssl/${filename}.crt -days 500 -sha256 -extfile v3.ext

v3.ext looks like this:

authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = localhost

When running openssl x509 -text -in ../nginx/ssl/server.crt -noout again, the certificate now also contains the Subject Alternative Name section:

I also created a blog post.

If you want to add 127.0.0.1, you must write:

[alt_names]
IP.1 = 127.0.0.1

If you add DNS.1 = 127.0.0.1 Chrome will return a ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID.

Thanks to @Robar for pointing this out in the comments.

    Hi, first thanks for this great blog post! I took me one work day to figure out how to add IP addresses to the [alt_name]. So if someone wants to add 127.0.0.1, he must write: [alt_name] IP.1 = 127.0.0.1 If you add DNS.1 = 127.0.0.1 chrome will return a ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. You could add this to your answer, this would save other devs a lot of time if they have the same issue.

    Thanks for the hint - I tried this as well but did not mention it. Updated the answer. Apr 26, 2017 at 8:47
  • "If you add DNS.1 = 127.0.0.1 chrome will return a ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" - That almost sounds like a Chrome bug. As far as I know, an IP address listed in the SAN has nothing to do with a CN.

  • One addition for cross browser compatibility. IE wants DNS entry and chrome IP. To make the certificate work on both I had to add the following to subject alt names: DNS.1 = localhost, DNS.2 = 127.0.0.1, IP.1 = 127.0.0.1

In Windows, save this script in your SSL folder as makeCert.bat. The self-signed certificate it makes will satisfy Chrome ver 58+ requirement for SAN (Subject Alternative Name).

This script will create these files: example.cnf, example.crt, example.key

@echo off

REM IN YOUR SSL FOLDER, SAVE THIS FILE AS: makeCert.bat
REM AT COMMAND LINE IN YOUR SSL FOLDER, RUN: makecert
REM IT WILL CREATE THESE FILES: example.cnf, example.crt, example.key
REM IMPORT THE .crt FILE INTO CHROME Trusted Root Certification Authorities
REM REMEMBER TO RESTART APACHE OR NGINX AFTER YOU CONFIGURE FOR THESE FILES

REM PLEASE UPDATE THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES FOR YOUR NEEDS.
SET HOSTNAME=example
SET DOT=com
SET COUNTRY=US
SET STATE=KS
SET CITY=Olathe
SET ORGANIZATION=IT
SET ORGANIZATION_UNIT=IT Department
SET EMAIL=webmaster@%HOSTNAME%.%DOT%

I updated STWilson's batch file to remove the COM stuff since localhost doesn't really have that and I want a self-signed localhost SSL certificate for development. I also added a few additional files like a .pfx and .pem.key file.
