Yep, I've been communicating offlist with another member, and he's finally set me straight. Now I am using "openssl ca", and it is give me the extensions the CSR is asking for. I've got it almost all figured out, except how to get a subjectAltName automatically populated by the CN of the requestor. My requests aren't asking for a SAN, but Chrome isn't happy without one, so I'd like to at least auto-populate 1 SAN by having it be the DNS:<CN> of the requesting CSR. Is that doable?
