Description David Tonhofer 2016-12-04 16:48:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
=======================

Currently the /etc/pki/CA directory is a bit messy:

We have the directories:

certs
crl
newcerts
private

And the files

index.txt
index.txt.attr
index.txt.old
serial
serial.old

Suggestion:

Move all of the counter and state files as given above to a new subdir of /etc/pki/CA called for example "var", "run", "state" or "counters" for Great Cleanliness.

This can be achieved by modifying the paths given in openssl.cnf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================

openssl-1.0.2j-1.fc24.x86_64

Can you please provide a patch (against rawhide) that would do as you suggest?
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2020-12-01 15:13:29 UTC 
Any fix for this needs to be implemented in upstream OpenSSL project. Please submit a PR to https://github.com/openssl/openssl/ if you want this fixed.
