creq command
You can use the creq command to generate the certificate request using the configured
parameters. If the private key does not already exist and appropriate parameters are entered, the
key will be generated at the same time.
• To generate a certificate request, enter the command:
creq new -k<priv key file> -o<cert request file>
• To generate a private key and a certificate request, enter the command:
creq new ?b<priv key length> -k<priv key file> -o<cert req file>
For example, to generate a certificate request file called request.pem from a private key
called priv001.pem, enter:
creq new -kpriv001.pem -o request.pem
To generate a 512 bit private key called private.pem, and generate a certificate request called
certreq.pem using that file, enter:
creq new -b512 -kprivate.pem -ocertreq.pem
