Greetings All,
I am very new to openssl and am having some difficulty finding the information on generating a certificate request. What I really want to do is obtain the distinguished name information via a web page then pass that information into the openssl call (specifically I want to do openssl req -in file -nodes -keyout key.pem -out out.pem where file is the information submitted by the user via the web page). However, in order to use the "-in" qualifier I believe the input file has to be in PEM format (or that is what I believe I have gathered from the openssl.org site). Is this the case? If so, how do I convert the file from ascii to PEM. Also, should there be field names associated with the data from the disntinguised name (ie key value pair) ? If so, what exactly should these be? If this is documented someplace, PLEASE point me in the direction of the documentation.
Thank you,
Caroyln
