I started the process of creating a chain of certificates from the root CA down to a leaf certificate using openssl running on a debian vm. I successfully created and verified the root cert, intermediate cert and chain file. The issue I am having now is that when I go to create a leaf cert to be used by the server it will not work for me. After generating the key and and the CSR i use this command " *openssl* ca -config path/to/config/folder/openssl.cnf -extensions server_cert -days 375 -notext -md sha256 -in path/to/CSR/folder/www.testcert.com.csr.pem -out path/to/output/cert/folder/www.testcert.com.cert.pem".
After running this command I get the output "using configuration from path/to/config/folder/openssl.cnf". When I check the folder i told openssl to place the newly created cert in it is not there. I have tried changing to a different output folder for the new cert but I get the same result. Any idea what is going on? The guide I have been using up until this point is at: https://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/create-the-root-pair.html
