It's not a matter of file name extension. The CA script which comes with openssl assumes certificate requests are PEM encoded, maybe the request outlook produced is DER encoded; in that case all you have to do is "openssl req -in <your .p10 file> -inform der -out <a new file name>" to convert the encoding to PEM.

I am having some problems finding the correct syntax to treat this type of file as other requests I have signed have come with the .csr extension. Any ideas ? Anton
