Creating Certificate Signing Request(CSR) using OpenSSL Commands

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]# pwd

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]# openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout Privatekey.pem -out Certreq.pem

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

...............................................................................................+++

writing new private key to 'Privatekey.pem'

-----

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated

into your certificate request.

What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank

For some fields there will be a default value,

If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

-----

Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:US

State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:NJ

Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:WEEH

Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:gbr soft tech ltd

Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:*.gbr.com

Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:gbr.soft.com

Email Address []:gbrtech@abcdef.com

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes

to be sent with your certificate request

A challenge password []:wasadmin

An optional company name []:gbr soft tech ltd

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]#

Note:    - nodes    is an optional parameter NOT to encrypt the private key. This is useful when your web server starts automatically, say at boot time. If your private key is encrypted, you would be required to enter a password everytime your web server restarted. You could also omit this option to create an encrypted key and then later remove the encryption from the key.

The Above Command will give you Two Files 1.certificate Sigining Request 2. Private Key of The Certificate Like Below.

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]# ls

Certreq.pem  Privatekey.pem

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]#

[root@jboss SSL_Prac]# cat Certreq.pem
