answer every question. If one does not apply to you or you want to leave it blank,
use ".". Common name is the name of the CA itself—choose a significant name,
such as My company CA.
Choose certificate version 3 (the default).
No interaction needed.
Create the distinguished name for the server key here. Questions are almost
identical to the ones already answered for the CA's distinguished name. The data
entered here applies to the Web server and does not necessarily need to be iden-
tical to the CA's data (for example, if the server is located elsewhere).
IMPORTANT: Selecting a Common Name
The common name you enter here must be the fully qualified hostname
of your secure server (for example, www.example.com). Otherwise the
browser issues a warning that the certificate does not match the server
when accessing the Web server.
Choose certificate version 3 (the default).
for security
It is strongly recommended to encrypt the private key of the CA with a password,
so choose Y and enter a password.
