I am on my way to learn more about OpenSSL. My current task is to create
a script, similar to CA.pl, to ease cert handling.

Ideally I would want to have one config file, holding different values
for a CA cert, a server cert and a client cert separated by sections.

This would require to have (at least) different 
[ req_distinguished_name ] sections, right?

If I understood the documentation and what I read on the ML archive this
cannot be done, correct?

Am I right, that if I would want to create certs with as less
interaction as possible I would have to create a config file for every
cert I'd like to create and use entries like:

countryName_value = EX
stateOrProvinceName_value = Examplia
localityName_value = Exampleton
...

Is there a way to create different certs from one config file without
user interaction? I'd be glad to RTFM or hear about best practices.

TIA,

Patrick Koetter
