Thank you very much, Pete. Your answer was most helpful. I was dumb because the 'man req 1' page describes the '-subj' parameter in line 81 and in line 154 but the text you sent me is in lines 482++. Similarly the openssl.cnf file never mentions "-subj" at all. I will read that web page you listed for me. Thanks. - Andy On 04/04/2014 07:37 PM, Pete Houston wrote: > From the openssl documentation at http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html > is this list of example field values: > > [ req_distinguished_name ] > C = GB > ST = Test State or Province > L = Test Locality > O = Organization Name > OU = Organizational Unit Name > CN = Common Name > emailAddress = test@email.address > > Note that this is a copy of the req man page which you referred to > says.
