Hi, did you get your answer to this? I just discovered 134 messages in the folder I'd set up for receiving said messages...and promptly forgot to check for same. I just went through this exercise and have set up my configuration files and bash script to generate certificates. -TN (Tim) -----Original Message----- From: openssl-users [mailto:openssl-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Moskowitz Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2017 15:50 To: openssl-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [EXTERNAL] scripting creating a cert I am creating self-signed certs with: openssl req -new -outform PEM -out certs/$your_host_tld.crt -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout private/$your_host_tld.key -keyform PEM -days 3650 -x509 -extensions v3_req Where, for example: your_host_tld=z9m9z.test.htt-consult.com Thing is that this then prompts for a number of fields: Country Name (2 letter code) [XX]: State or Province Name (full name) []: Locality Name (eg, city) [Default City]: Organization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]: Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []: Email Address []: Is there some 'simple' way to provide these answers?
