Hey guys, a low priority bug exists in the openssl command line tool
modulo the documentation. If you run "openssl req" with the -verbose
option mentioned in <> then you get an "unknown option -verbose" error.
Just thought I'd let you know. Below is output from my shell. I'm
using OpenSSL 0.9.6e on Mac OS X 10.2.1.
Thanks, pablos.
[koma:/ops/CA] pablos% openssl req -new -verbose -key private/Key.pem
-out req/Req10222002.pem -days 360 -config openssl.cnf
unknown option -verbose
req [options] <infile >outfile
where options are
-inform arg input format - DER or PEM
-outform arg output format - DER or PEM
-in arg input file
-out arg output file
-text text form of request
-noout do not output REQ
-verify verify signature on REQ
-modulus RSA modulus
-nodes don't encrypt the output key
-key file use the private key contained in file
-keyform arg key file format
-keyout arg file to send the key to
-rand file:file:...
load the file (or the files in the directory) into
the random number generator
-newkey rsa:bits generate a new RSA key of 'bits' in size
-newkey dsa:file generate a new DSA key, parameters taken from CA in
'file'
-[digest] Digest to sign with (md5, sha1, md2, mdc2, md4)
-config file request template file.
-new new request.
-x509 output a x509 structure instead of a cert. req.
-days number of days a x509 generated by -x509 is valid for.
-newhdr output "NEW" in the header lines
-asn1-kludge Output the 'request' in a format that is wrong but some
CA's
have been reported as requiring
-extensions .. specify certificate extension section (override value
in config file)
-reqexts .. specify request extension section (override value in
config file)
