Dear OpenSSL Community,
I am a new user of OpenSSL and have a pretty simple question. I'm
trying to create a self-signed certificate and so far has done the
following.
Step 1)>openssl genrsa -des3 -out server1.key 1024
Step 2)This asked for a password and I made a password "asdf"
Step 3) >openssl req -key server1.key -out server1.csr
Step 4)At the first prompt, I typed in "asdf" and pressed enter.
Nothing happens. I keep pressing enter and then mash they keyboard
until this message appears "unable to load X509 request
6416:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start
line:.\crypto\pem_lib.c:642:Expecting: CERTIFICATE REQUEST"
Step 5) I retired the above command except with the wrong password
"asdfg" and it looks like I had a bad decrypt error message
Can someone tell me if I'm doing anything wrong when creating a simple
self-signed certificate so far?
I am using Windows Vista as my OS with Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.0d and Visual
C++ 2008 Redistributables
downloaded from this site:

Thank you for any help you can provide.
