Hello All,

I am sending an openSSL script to the client along with my companies PublicKey.

The idea is, client has to run a batch file which it will run some openSSL commands in the background and generate his privatekey and csr file.

While generating the CSR file I need to supply a config file to the openSSL req command.

example

openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem -config openSSL.config

Because it is running by the client so I need to make sure that he is giving the right information to the prompted fields. Is there any mechanism that I can supply some default parameters in the config file so that user not needed to supply some of the important bits.

My question is, Do I have to do this? or leave as it is and just ask him to send back that generated CSR file back to my company or Am I thinking wrong? I am confused! Please help me with your wisdom.

Thanking you.

Regards,
