Create a Signing Request Using A Domains CA
1.) Create Key and Certificate Signing Request:
openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout <user key> -out <user csr> -nodes -days 365 -subj "/CN=<name>"`
2.) Sign CSR With CA:
openssl x509 -req -in <user csr> -CA <ca cert> -CAkey <ca key> -out <signed user cert> -set_serial 01 -days 365
3.) Convert To PKCS12 For Use In Browsers As Client Certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in <signed user cert> -inkey <user key> -out <user>.p12
USEFUL COMMANDS

View Private Keys Contents
openssl rsa -text -in yourdomain.key -noout
Extract Public Key
openssl rsa -in yourdomain.key -pubout -out yourdomain_public.key
Create Signing Request
openssl req -new -key yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr
OR
openssl req -new \

-out yourdomain.csr \
-subj "/C=US/ST=Utah/L=Lehi/O=Your Company, Inc./OU=IT/CN=yourdomain.com"
VERIFY CSR
openssl req -text -in yourdomain.csr -noout -verify
VIEW CONTENTS OF CERTIFICATE
openssl x509 -text -in yourdomain.crt -noout
