You are totally right.

Because of that CA's (including OpenSSL's ca command) usually work with a certificate request which contains the public key (as well as some other informations like the canonical name). Certificate requests can be generated with OpenSSL's req command.


But how??? Could you give an example please (of [a] creating, and [b] signing a "req")?

Thanks!!
