I also did a Window10 bit install using the binaries from Shining Path Productions.

The file name in that installation was openssl. This difference in OpenSSL configuration file extension names appears to be compile dependent. I haven't tested yet which extension name is recognized by OpenSSL v1.

We should check our installation, I installed openssl lite, which does not have this config file. Now I am using git's ssl, more on that here stackoverflow.

Sarah - set is a Windows command, and its meant to be run from cmd. It won't work on a non-Windows machine. The set and echo thing does not work in Power Shell, either. I read your comment and went to cmd. It worked correctly but I was still getting the same error in the openssl.

Should be marked as answer. Frankly should be unnecessary too. Nikl Nikl 1, 10 10 silver badges 10 10 bronze badges. Establish working directory. Variable name Value 0. Sky Voyager Sam Sam 4, 2 2 gold badges 38 38 silver badges 43 43 bronze badges.

The installation link helped, I downloaded 0. Thank you. Where did the Apache stuff come from? How is it relevant to the question? At this point in time, you must list all acceptable 'object'. Passwords for private keys if not present they will be prompted for. This sets a mask for permitted string types. There are several options. These extensions are added when 'ca' signs a request.

This is typical in keyUsage for a client certificate. PKIX recommendations harmless if included in all certificates. This stuff is for subjectAltName and issuerAltname. An alternative to produce certificates that aren't.

This is required for TSA certificates. Extensions to add to a certificate request. Key usage: this is typical for a CA certificate. However since it will. Include email address in subject alt name: another PKIX recommendation. DER hex encoding of an extension: beware experts only! Where 'obj' is a standard or added object. You can even override a supported extension:. These extensions should be added when creating a proxy certificate. This really needs to be in place for it to be a proxy certificate.

Note that you do not want copyall here as it's a security risk and should only be used if you really know what you're doing. These simply define the way that the name and certificate information are displayed to you for "confirmation" before signing a certificate and should be left as-is. The default digest algorithm - this can be left alone unless you know what you're doing - and whether or not to preserve the DN.

Preserving the DN is a site-specific thing: if you want all your certs to have the same DN order, than so "no" here and openssl will re-order the attributes in the DNs of CSRs to make them consistent.

However, if you want to let people determind the order of their DN, set this to "yes. All fields listed as "supplied" must be present. All fields listed as "optional" are allowed, but not required to be there. Anything allowed must be listed! So this policy requires the same country, State, and Organization name as the CA for all certs it signs. Here we define the section for the req command. We define the default size, the name of the keyfile, the section that defines how to form the DN, what attributes to put in the request, and the section that defines what x extensions to request.

This defines what kind of strings to accept. See the man page for details. Again, this will define how to form the DN. This says that countryName 's description is "Country Name 2 letter code ", it's default is "US" and that it's min and max is 2 letters.

We also provide a description and default for stateOrProvinceName and localityName , but define no size restrictions for them.
