You'll find an overview of the most commonly used commands below. ![]() ![]() Issuer: C = AU, ST = stateA, L = cityA, O = companyA, OU = sectionA, CN = domain, emailAddress = Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption We can use the openssl command to view the contents of our certificate in plain text: openssl x509 -text -noout -in domain.crtĦ4:1a:ad:0f:83:0f:21:33:ff:ac:9e:e6:a5:ec:28:95:b6:e8:8a:f4 Please enter the following 'extra' attributesĪn important field is “ Common Name,” which should be the exact Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of our domain. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) :sectionAĬommon Name (e.g. Organization Name (eg, company) :companyA State or Province Name (full name) :stateA If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blankįor some fields there will be a default value, What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated The output will look like: Enter pass phrase for domain.key: We'll enter our private key password and some CSR information to complete the process. Let's create a CSR ( domain.csr) from our existing private key: openssl req -key domain.key -new -out domain.csr The CSR includes the public key and some additional information (such as organization and country). ![]() If we want our certificate signed, we need a certificate signing request (CSR).
