            </td>

            </tr></table>

After entering all information, i want to generate certificate signing request

In the following path what i can do?

#Generating a cert request
openssl req -new -nodes -out /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/requests/couffin-req.pem -keyout /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/requests/couffin-req.key -subj "/C=IN/ST=MAHARASHTRA/L=MUMBAI/O=Couffin Inc/OU=Sales/CN=www.couffin.itpl" -config /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/openssl.cnf

#Signing a cert request
openssl ca -policy policy_anything -batch -out /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/certs/couffin-cert.pem -config /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/conf/openssl.cnf -infiles /portal/data/config/certificate/vendor/requests/couffin-req.pem

Note :- I want to do it in system command-line programs, please help

Answer 1

Instead of calling command-line programs, you should use php’s ssl module. To generate certificates with that, call the openssl_csr_new function.
