Your steps to creating a keypair look intact I also found this advice to be helpful, though I eventually had to downgrade to a 4096-bit RS A key – I couldn't get an ED25519-based key to work. How can I get either word processor to find the certificate that I created in ~/cert, or is there something wrong with the steps I used to create it?Īfter hours of frustration, I finally got it to work. I can click on the certificate in the cert directory but the open button is not clickable. When I click, I get the following window. In Libreoffice, I can see an option to start a certificate manager. One of those ways would be to set an environment variable: export MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER=~/cert
In the wiki for openoffice, I found a page claiming there are 4 ways to select the directory where OpenOffice will look: OpenOffice still didn't find the certificate or offer me any way to select a directory. #make it readable only to you, to protect it Openssl x509 -in $name.csr -out $name.crt -req -signkey $name.key -days $days Openssl req -new -days $days -key $name.key -out $name.csr #best to generate without a passphrase, so next command removes it Openssl genrsa -aes128 -out $name.key 2048 #generate a key Here is the shell script I wrote to do it so I would not forget the steps: #! /bin/bash So I created a certificate using instructions from this site:
So I now can verify that both have the same issue.īoth Openoffice and Libreoffice have an option claiming to digitally sign a document.
OPENOFFICE CALCULATE DAYS HOUR MINUTES INSTALL
Then I figured out that I could install Libreoffice as well: sudo apt install libreoffice On Ubuntu 19.04, Libreoffice seems to be there, but when I clicked, all the apps seem to be missing (like the word processor and the spreadsheet).
