Thanks for the info, this has helped a lot. ...
This is the wrong place to ask for help with OpenSSL. OpenSSL is the competition to mozilla. One doesn't ask questions about a Mercedes in a newsgroup dedicated to discussing Porsche automobiles, and vice versa.
I didn't know they were competition, I thought they both the open source systems that would keep the Internet open.
But the bigger question is this: Mozilla is quite capable of generating its own RSA key pairs, requesting certificates for them, importing those certificates, exporting the key and cert in a PKCS12 file (if desired) and using the key and cert for client authentication. So, why do you want to get OpenSSL involved?
I did not know mozilla could do this. Possibly there might be other web browsers involved later, but for the moment, only mozilla. I suppose knowing the OpenSSL version would make for a general solution later...but now that you mention mozilla can generate key pairs, how would I find out the way to do this with mozilla and not with OpenSSL? All I've found were ways to import keys, I never found anything that would generate keys. Perhaps it's because I'm using the GUI and it isn't available there.
