Generate and Sign the Certificate Command for Windows

When I run the following command in openssl, I get an "error in req" error.

req -new -key myCAPrivateKey.key -out myCACertificate.csr -config D:\Program Files\Splunk\openssl.cnf

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? This command is on page 64 of the Splunk-6.1.1-Security.pdf document under Generate and sign the certificate.

Thanks for answering my question. The quotes for the config path worked.

req -new -key myCAPrivateKey.key -out myCACertificate.csr -config "D:\Program Files\Splunk\openssl.cnf"

try setting and using environment variable $SPLUNK_HOME use use quotes next to your openssl.cnf file path.

check you'r using the right SPLUNK openssl

openssl genrsa -des3 -out myCAPrivateKey.key 1024 -config "C:\Program Files\Splunk\openssl.cnf"

openssl req -new -key myCAPrivateKey.key -out myCACertificate.csr -config "C:\Program Files\Splunk\openssl.cnf"
