A bit of time passed since the original report. The x509 man page is
deprecated. The correct one would be openssl-x509. What you look for is
a bit hidden:
| -digest
| The digest to use. This affects any signing or printing option
| that uses a message digest, such as the -fingerprint, -key, and -CA
options.
| Any digest supported by the openssl-dgst(1) command can be used. If not
| specified then SHA1 is used with -fingerprint or the default digest for
the
| signing algorithm is used, typically SHA256.
