sorry the problem here was, I have two openssl in same setup one is 1.0.2 and other is 1.1.1 , and used 1.0.2 for second command

Hi..I need one more info here, in this you are passing rsa-pss, but how does it decides PSSParameters?

Good day,

I have similar problems with the second command.

openssl req -x509 -new -key CA.priKey -subj "/CN=CA" -sha256 -out CA.cer
Can't open C:\ci\openssl_1587479240221_h_env\Library/openssl.cnf for reading, No such file or directory
11040:error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process:crypto\bio\bss_file.c:69:fopen('C:\ci\openssl_1587479240221_h_env\Library/openssl.cnf','r')
11040:error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:crypto\bio\bss_file.c:76:

Is this approach still up to date? I am using version OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020.

Are there other instructions for creating an RSA-PSS certificate?

@3ddministrator can you share exact OS you are using? This is still valid, just tested on Ubuntu 20.04

Your problem is not similar. It is simple: 😉

openssl req -x509 -new -key CA.priKey -subj "/CN=CA" -sha256 -out CA.cer
Can't open C:\ci\openssl_1587479240221_h_env\Library/openssl.cnf for reading, No such file or directory
