You are trying to save the secret key in
/opt/mft/shared/software/mfra.key
You are not running as root (this is GOOD!).
You are not supposed to (and not allowed to) put the key
file there, because that directory is only supposed to
contain software AND because everybody else can read that
directory.
You should put the key in a directory where only you have
access, and where you do have write access.
For example
[/home/Sudhakar.Shanmugam/secrets]>chmod 0700 .
[/home/Sudhakar.Shanmugam/secrets]>umask 077
[/home/Sudhakar.Shanmugam/secrets]>/opt/mft/shared/software/openssl
genrsa -out mfra.key 2048 -config /opt/mft/shared/software/openssl.cnf
Please try not to get hacked.
Enjoy
Jakob
