Duplicate CSR Created by OpenSSL with Config.cnf

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a CSR created by the following commands:
# Generate Private Key
openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem

#Generate CSR
openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr
