Thanks. I apologize -- I freely admit I have not RTFM. Where IS the top level documentation for the configuration file? Where is the starting point?
I am missing some step here. I am running on Windows 7. I say set VAR_DNS_1 = foo.com set VAR_DNS_2 = bar.com Then in the configuration file I say [ alt_names ] DNS.1 = $ENV::VAR_DNS_1 # line 224 of the configuration file DNS.2 = $ENV::VAR_DNS_2 OpenSSL gives me the error 5288:error:0E065068:configuration file routines:STR_COPY:variable has no value:.\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:618:line 224 What else do I need to do? Thanks much, and apologies for the dumb questions.
