Thanks.

I apologize -- I freely admit I have not RTFM. Where IS the top level
documentation for the configuration file? Where is the starting point?

I am missing some step here. I am running on Windows 7. I say

set VAR_DNS_1 = foo.com
set VAR_DNS_2 = bar.com

Then in the configuration file I say

[ alt_names ]
DNS.1 = $ENV::VAR_DNS_1         # line 224 of the configuration file
DNS.2 = $ENV::VAR_DNS_2

OpenSSL gives me the error

5288:error:0E065068:configuration file routines:STR_COPY:variable has no
value:.\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:618:line 224

What else do I need to do? Thanks much, and apologies for the dumb
questions.

Charles

There is no prompt option but you can use the $ENV syntax to expand an
environment variable and use that on the command line.
