Hi,

When creating a client certificate using command "CA.pl -newreq", it
prompts
for entering a PEM pass phrase before generating the newreq.pem file.  What
is the usage/purpose of this password?  It seems to me that it is the
password for accessing data (like private key?) in the newreq.pem file.  Is
it correct?

Thanks
Patrick
