How to Generate CSR using Openssl in Linux

Before Generating CSR ,let see what is Openssl. It is nothing but a core library ,which is used for general purpose in cryptography,it is an open source product which work towards the implementation of SSL and TLS protocols. Talking about openssl, some people called the certificates generated from openssl as "self signed certificate". lets go towards now,creating CSR and private key using openssl command, Just log in to any of your Linux box and run following command as  root user  replacing the required information as per your need . [root@SVR home]#   openssl req -new -newkey  rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -out domain_name.csr -keyout domain_name.key -subj "/C=US/ST=state/L=locality/O=organization/OU=organization unit Dept/CN=www.domain.com"  You will get output like : Then check whether ,all the information we have entered ,while creating CSR is proper ,by decoding the CSR from some online tool. First do the cat to the csr file [root@SVR home]#  cat
