Common OpenSSL Commands with Keys and Certificates

This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL private keys. One can generate RSA, DSA, ECC or EdDSA private keys.; Keys are generated in PEM format. Please note that the module regenerates private keys if they don’t match the module’s options. For clarity note there are many other file formats for RSA keys, even within OpenSSL and OpenSSH much less other software; this is a scheme for some passphrase-protected RSA private keys but not the scheme for all such keys.
I am using the following command in order to generate a CSR together with a private key by using OpenSSL: openssl req -new -subj '/CN=sample.myhost.com' -out newcsr.csr -nodes -sha512 -newkey rsa.
