Hi, The command you used is the correct one to generate a cert from CSR. Still certificate not generated means there may be some config issue. You did not see any errors after the following line ? using configuration from > path/to/config/folder/openssl.cnf". Also check if the file/path permissions are ok. Thanks, Murugesh P.
