In the [ ca ] section I have:

If I leave the = out I get an error, so I am assuming I got the
format of this right.

Then I have

[ req ]
distinguished_name  = req_distinguished_name

[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName                     = $ENV::countryName
stateOrProvinceName             = $ENV::stateOrProvinceName

In a terminal window I run:

export countryName=US
export stateOrProvinceName=MI

then

openssl req -config openssl-root.cnf -key private/ca.key.pem \
       -new -x509 -days 7300 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca -out
certs/ca.cert.pem


And I am still getting prompted for the DN fields:

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
US []:

What did I miss?

Since this is the req command try "prompt = no" in the req section.

Thank you, but I did get past this point. I got prompt no working and the way it worked, just did not work well enough.

I threw the towel in on ENV and did get -subj $DN working...

thanks

Bob
