Hi Aya, I have not tried this with a self-signed certificate, but putting the "-sha256" option in the signature command has worked for me before, i.e.,
x509 -req -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt -sha256 The can check the attribute with: x509 -text -in server.crt ... Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption ...
