During the generation of x509 certificates, both commands give the same results:
Command "a": openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout example.key -out example.csr -subj "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=
example.com"
Command "b": openssl genrsa -out example.key
Both commands give me a private key without password, a key that is not encrypted.
To remove the passphrase from private key, I use the
Command "c":openssl rsa -in example.key -out example2.key
The command "c" against the example.key generated by command "a", gives the same private key with different content between --BEGIN RSA and --END RSA. Simply, try the following:
diff example.key example2.key, the files are different.
The command "c" against example.key generate by the command "b" produces the same file. No differences.
Why?
Perhaps I missed something in openssl manual ... :(
These differenced gave me troubles using custom certificates in some software.
Any suggestion?
