Yeah, the RSA cert you use for your CA to sign other certs should not
be used as a host cert for SSL. Generate a new RSA cert, generate a
CSR, and use the CA cert to sign your new RSA cert for the webserver:
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem -
days 365
openssl x509 -x509toreq -in newreq.pem -signkey newreq.pem -out
tmp.pem
openssl ca -policy policy_anything -out newcert.pem -infiles tmp.pem
# (newcert.pem contains signed certificate, newreq.pem still
contains
# unsigned certificate and private key)
Thanks, I see the point, but I don't really experienced in generating
certs. The lines you wrote lead me to the following:

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
