How to print contents of a self-signed certificate in text format using OpenSSL "x509" command?

If you want to see contents of a self-signed certificate in text format, you can use the OpenSSL "x509 -text" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe

OpenSSL> x509 -in my_rsa.crt -text -noout

Options used in this "req" command are:

• "-in my_rsa.crt" - Read the certificate from the given file.
• "-text" - Print out certificate content in text format.
• "-noout" - Do not include the certificate itself in the output.

⇒ OpenSSL "verify" - Validate Self-Signed Certificate

⇐ OpenSSL "req -new -x509" - Generate Self-Signed Certificate
