(MFC) Duplicate openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout mydomain.pem -out mydomain.csr

Demonstrates how to duplicate this OpenSSL command:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout mydomain.pem -out mydomain.csr

This command creates 2 files:

  1. mydomain.csr: this is the file to send to DigiCert or Let's Encrypt (or any other CA)
  2. mydomain.pem: this is the private key of the domain.

The second file is needed to pair with the certificate that will later be received from the CA.
