Creating sha1 certs using cfssl api












0















I'm working with some legacy weblogic systems that require sha1 keystores for ssl. I've begun to try using our cfssl instance and have successfully managed to generate certificates, but they all seem to default to sha2. I've not been able to find a way to override this in the api.



The json body I've passed to the api is like the below:



{
"hostname": "{{ csr_request_cn }}",
"request": {
"hosts": [
"{{ csr_request_cn }}"
],
"cn": "{{ csr_request_cn }}",
"key": {
"algo": "rsa",
"size": 2048
},
"names": [
{
...omitted
}
]
}
}


Looking at the code seems to suggest that at one point there was a way to generate sha1 certs by setting a smaller key size, but now cfssl only accepts key sizes of 2048 or higher which defaults to sha2. I could be misunderstanding sha1 and sha2 but I was under the impression that sha1 could still be used with higher key sizes.
