yes, I want to change the following questions :
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
Email Address []:
I only want to ask for the Unit name and the application name that will be
using the certificate. We are developing a program suite, and different
programs' data will be recognized by the application name listed in the
certificate. The server will hold the list of valid applications. I will
only be using the following fields :
Unit Name
Application Name
I will look into the ability to not ask the user for any information, and
read it all out of a file.
Thank you.
