Generating Certificate file - openssl api ()

[bsenthil]

Hi,

I am trying to create the following certificate file by openssl api()
1. Generating self-signed CA certificate (RSA) - executing by openssl 
command
   =========================================

$OPENSSL_CMD req $OPENSSL_CNF -nodes -subj "$TEST_CA_DN"  -keyout 
$KEYS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.key.pem  -newkey rsa:1024 -new -out 
$CERTS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.req.pem

$OPENSSL_CMD x509 -req -days $DAYS -in $CERTS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.req.pem 
-extfile $OPENSSL_DIR/apps/openssl.cnf -extensions v3_ca -signkey 
$KEYS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.key.pem -out $CERTS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.cert.pem

API:: Using mkcert.c  - Generating self signed certificate file






2. GENERATING A TEST SERVER CERTIFICATE (RSA) - executing through by 
openssl command
==================================================="
$OPENSSL_CMD req $OPENSSL_CNF -nodes -subj "$TEST_SERVER_DN"  -keyout 
$KEYS_DIR/$TEST_SERVER_FILE.key.pem   -newkey rsa:1024 -new  -out 
$CERTS_DIR/$TEST_SERVER_FILE.req.pem

API::  mkreq.c   -Generating certificate request


$OPENSSL_CMD x509 -req -days $DAYS -in 
$CERTS_DIR/$TEST_SERVER_FILE.req.pem -CA 
$CERTS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.cert.pem -CAkey $KEYS_DIR/$TEST_CA_FILE.key.pem 
-out $CERTS_DIR/$TEST_SERVER_FILE.cert.pem -CAcreateserial

API :: How to "Signing the certificate request" ? Is there any sample 
file available ?



I am trying to create the above certificate file by openssl api(). 
Sample file which is available under openssl-0.9.8b/demos/x509.
mkcert.c  - Generating self signed certificate file
mkreq.c   -Generating certificate request
How to "Signing the certificate request" ? Is there any sample file 
available ?

FYI, I have attached the same with this mail.

Thanks,
Senthilkumar.
