Re: Whats wrong with my CAPolicy.inf file?

Ya, it should look VERY familiar :-)

Its cool that you participate in this forum, Im sure its appreciated by all
of us learning the stuff.

As far as your response, no, sorry, I actually typed it myself. I typed an
underscore character for that.

Any other guesses? I am quite stumped as to what could be wrong.
Especially considering the file is so simple.

I checked for the obvious screwups, but nothing pops out at me - file is not
named CAPolicy.inf.txt, permissions on the file are readable by everyone,
the file is in C:\Windows. As I mentioned, it appears that the file was
found, and opened, but for some reason it cannot be parsed correctly?

Thanks for any help,

Joe

Wow... does this text look familiar <G>.
My guess is that you copied and pasted this from the CD from my book or
from the PDF document. My guess is that the "_" character was translated
to an different character.
Try retyping the section header for [certsrv_server]

Hello there - I am creating a standalone Root CA (ie, offline), and
created
a very simple CAPolicy.inf. It seems to be ignoring the settings in the
inf
file. I have already checked to make sure its not CAPolicy.inf.txt :-)

The errors below from certmmc.log seem to indicate the file is found, but
that lines that are there are not read. I have looked at it for a while
to
see if there is any kind of syntax error, but nothing pops out at me.
Like
I said, the file is really simple.

Thanks for any help,

Joe


Here is the Inf file:

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"

[certsrv_server]
Renewalkeylength=4096
RenewalValidityPeriodUnits=10
RenewalValidityPeriod=years

CRLPeriod=weeks
CRLPeriodUnits=26
CRLDeltaPeriodUnits=0
CRLDeltaPeriod=days

[CRLDistributionPoint]
Empty=True

[AuthorityInformationAccess]
Empty=True

[BasicConstraintsExtension]
PathLength=1



And here is the output from certmmc.log:
