Automatically responding to "openssl req" prompts?

  • 772

When you use openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key my.key -days 366 -out my.pem to generate a self-signed certificate, it prompts you for a bunch of information, such as "Country Name (2 letter code)", etc.

Is there any way to automate the responses to these prompts, making the process non-interactive?

    The following works for me:

    SUBJ="/C=DK/ST=Jylland/O=Company Name"
openssl req -new -key ca.key -x509 -days 3653 -out ca.crt -subj "$SUBJ"
