Error while configuring Certificate Authority server

[pankaj Arora]

Hi All,

I have configure Certificate Authority server.

On signing the certificate i am getting this error

[root@server certs]# openssl ca -in ldap.csr -out ldap.crt        
Using configuration from /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
Enter pass phrase for /etc/pki/CA/private/ca.key:          >>>>>>> checked with both the  password ca.crt & ldap.csr
unable to load number from /etc/pki/CA/serial
error while loading serial number
6060:error:0D066091:asn1 encoding routines:a2i_ASN1_INTEGER:odd number of chars:f_int.c:162:
[root@server certs]#

File serial number already exist in the location

/etc/pki/CA/serial ...........with full permission.

Please suggest why i am getting this error

With Regards
