During the generation of x509 certificates, both commands give the same results:
Command "a": openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout example.key -out example.csr -subj "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=example.com" Command "b": openssl genrsa -out example.key Both commands give me a private key without password, a key that is not encrypted. To remove the passphrase from private key, I use the Command "c":openssl rsa -in example.key -out example2.key The command "c" against the example.key generated by command "a", gives the same private key with different content between --BEGIN RSA and --END RSA. Simply, try the following: diff example.key example2.key, the files are different. The command "c" against example.key generate by the command "b" produces the same file. No differences. Why? Perhaps I missed something in openssl manual ... :( These differenced gave me troubles using custom certificates in some software. Any suggestion? Regards Michele MAsè
