Well, you are going to the 'big competitor' VeriSign for your
certificate but I'll help you anyway... ;-)
The certificate request generation process needs some information
from the OpenSSL config file ssleay.cnf which it doesn't find.
(/usr/local/ssl/lib/ssleay.cnf isn't a typical NT path). You
can override this by adding something like '-config c:\OpenSSL\ssleay.cnf'.
This will solve your problem but I can immediately point you on
the next problem you'll experience. Some of the information in
the basic SSLeay.cnf file (OpenSSL/apps/ssleay.cnf) hasn't been
written for NT in mind. Edit the pathnames (in the beginning
of the file) and then you'll be able to generate the request.
Good luck!
Christian.
