How to list all commands in OpenSSL? I don't remember exactly what is the command to generate a CSR.

Interestingly, there is no OpenSSL command to list all commands supported in OpenSSL. And there is no "help" command.

However, if you enter "help" as a command, OpenSSL will return you an error message saying "'help' is an invalid command" with a list of valid commands to help you to enter a valid command as you see in the example below:

OpenSSL> help

openssl:Error: 'help' is an invalid command.

Standard commands

Message Digest commands (see the `dgst' command for more details)

Cipher commands (see the `enc' command for more details)
aes-128-cbc       aes-128-ecb       aes-192-cbc       aes-192-ecb
aes-256-cbc       aes-256-ecb       base64            bf

camellia-128-cbc  camellia-128-ecb  camellia-192-cbc  camellia-192-ecb
camellia-256-cbc  camellia-256-ecb  cast              cast-cbc

des-ede3          des-ede3-cbc      des-ede3-cfb      des-ede3-ofb
des-ofb           des3              desx              idea
idea-cbc          idea-cfb          idea-ecb          idea-ofb
rc2               rc2-40-cbc        rc2-64-cbc        rc2-cbc
rc2-cfb           rc2-ecb           rc2-ofb           rc4
rc4-40            seed              seed-cbc          seed-cfb
seed-ecb          seed-ofb

So entering "help" or any random string is a way to list all commands supported in OpenSSL.
