What I want to do: 
Create a cert with certain strings in the subjectAltName extension 

What I have tried: 
1. in openssl.cnf, added this line: 
  [ v3_ca ] 
  subjectAltName = test Extension string 
and ran openssl req -reqexts = v3_ca -newreq ... 

then after combining this with the private key, signed and generated the
cert using CA.pl 

when I look at the new cert, I don't see the extension I put in (some other
extensions are there). If I used "openssl req -text -noout < newreq.pem,
even then I did not see the subjectAltName extension. Like before, someother
extensions like basic constrains, etc. are visible.

2 things could have happened: [1] the extension did not get created and I
did not get any error message or [2] it got created but I am not using the
proper tools/commands to view it.

I'd appreciate any pointers/urls/how-tos (did the ususal searches to find
them). 

Thanks in advance.
