Is it possible to generate a certificate request with the openssl command line
tool, using an RSA public key only? I tried various combinations of options, but
I only managed to make it read a private key. Can the library do it, if I write
a simple front-end?
The reason I need this, is that the key pair is generated by a router, which
keeps its private key private. All there is available is a hex dump of the
public key. I reencoded it into base 64, and added begin and end lines, such
that it looks like:
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
ICAzMDVDMzAwRCAwNjA5MkE4NiA0ODg2RjcwRCAwMTAxMDEwNSAwMDAzNEIwMCAzMDQ4MDI0
MSAwMEQ2NEZENSA2QzUwQjU0MCAKICA0OTU5MDc5NCA2OEY1REY4NiA2Q0REQjk1OCAyMURB

-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
