If you have DN (Distinguished Name) default values provided
in the configuration file, you can run OpenSSl "req -new -batch" command
to take default values only without prompt as shown below:
C:\Users\fyicenter>type test.cnf
# unnamed section of generic options
default_md = md5
# default section for "req" command options
[req]
input_password = fyicenter
prompt = yes
distinguished_name = my_req_dn_prompt
[my_req_dn_prompt]
# Minimum of 4 bytes are needed for common name
commonName = Common Name
commonName_default = FYIcenter.com CA
# ISO2 country code only
countryName = Country Name
countryName_default = US
# State is optional, no minimum limit
stateOrProvinceName = State
stateOrProvinceName_default = NY
# City is required
localityName = City
localityName_default = New York
# Organization is optional
organizationName = Organization
organizationName_default = FYIcenter.com
# Organization Unit is optional
organizationalUnitName = Department
organizationalUnitName_default = IT
# Email is optional
emailAddress = Email
emailAddress_default = ca@fyicenter.com
C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe
OpenSSL> req -new -key rsa_test.key -out test.csr -config test.cnf -batch
OpenSSL> req -in test.csr -text -noout
