Automatic generation of an x509 certificate by OpenSSL
bash, openssl, ssl-certificate, x509, x509certificate
Solution
You need to supply the password. Like this for example.
openssl x509 -passin pass:passwd -req -days 365 -in testem/2.csr -signkey testem/2.key -out testem/2.crt
Problem
I need to automate X509 SSL certificate generation in a bash script (without prompt any strings to console). I generate an SSL key and cert request automatically, but I can not automatize certificate generation without promt password. This commands works without prompt: ``` openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:passwd -out testem/2.key 1024 openssl req -new -passin pass:passwd -subj "/" -key testem/2.key -out testem/2.csr ``` This command requests input password: ``` openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in testem/2.csr -signkey testem/2.key -out testem/2.crt ``` I can't find the option "-passout" in the manual of the command "x509". What can be done?
