I am required to generate a CSR with only public key. I understand private key is required for Proof of Possession. However, as per my requirement I am supposed to create CSR only with public key and my CA would create a certificate. I was able to create a CSR with CX509CertificateRequestCertificate and CX509Enrollment classes using the available public key. When I try to read the contents the of CSR in openssl (i used this command: openssl req -in client.csr -noout -text) i get "unable to load X509 request". Is this happening because the CSR does not contain the signature of private key or the CSR is faulty. Kindly help me.
