OpenSSL Config File

OpenSSL configuration file controls what kind of information is written to a PKI certificate. The configuration can appear complicated and daunting, however, the default configuration file is "good enough" for the class.

Because of the incompatibility between Window and Linux/Unix, the Openssl configuration file the configuration file for can not be used for the other. (for more information see dos2unix.)

Note: for linux/unix the serial.txt and configuration file is included in the script tar file.
