OpenSSL "req" - "prompt=yes" Mode
How to use the "prompt=yes" mode of the OpenSSL "req -new" command? I want to enter DN values at the command prompt.
✍: FYIcenter.com
You can use "prompt=yes" mode of the OpenSSL "req -new" command as shown below, if you set "prompt=yes" and provide DN (Distinguished Name) field prompts in the configuration file.
C:\Users\fyicenter>type test.cnf # unnamed section of generic options default_md = md5 # default section for "req" command options [req] input_password = fyicenter prompt = yes distinguished_name = my_req_dn_prompt [my_req_dn_prompt] commonName = Common Name countryName = Country Name stateOrProvinceName = State localityName = City organizationName = Organization organizationalUnitName = Department emailAddress = Email C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe OpenSSL> req -new -key rsa_test.key -out test.csr -config test.cnf You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Common Name []:FYIcenter.com CA Country Name []:US State []:NY City []:New York Organization []:FYIcenter.com Department []:IT Email []:ca@fyicenter.com OpenSSL> req -in test.csr -text -noout Certificate Request:s Data: Version: 0 (0x0) Subject: CN=FYIcenter.com CA, C=US, ST=NY, L=New York, O=FYI Center, OU=IT /emailAddress=ca@fyicenter.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (1024 bit) ...
As you can see from the output, the "req -new" command executed correctly in the "prompt=yes" mode. distinguished_name section options are used as DN field prompts.
