Description Ulrich Windl 2006-10-31 09:08:51 UTC 
yast CA:
When trying to export a newly created server certificate using the export certificate and key unencrypted in PEM format, YaST does not accept a valid filename in "File Name:" field. In this example the file name was "sp4" after "sp4.pem" had also been rejected.
Comment 1 Ulrich Windl 2006-10-31 09:34:00 UTC 
Problem analyzed: In CaManagement.pm line 3236 and following, the filename is expected to be a fully qualified file name. Thus "sp4.pem" does not fulfill the requirement. Using "/root/sp4" instead did work.
While good for the developer of the module, the typical user wonders what's so hard to parse with a simple file name like the one used. Maybe improve the diagnostics.
Comment 2 Michael Calmer 2006-10-31 11:55:55 UTC 
For openSUSE 10.2 I have added an additional description which say.
"Please enter an absolute path and no special characters as filename."

I hope this is sufficient.
