Unable to load config info from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf on Windows
After installing OpenSSL I was required to create a new environment variable:
- Name:
OPENSSL_CONF - Value:
C:\Program Files\OpenSSL\openssl.cnf
In powershell:
$env:OPENSSL_CONF = "${env:ProgramFiles}\OpenSSL\openssl.cnf"This value differs from previous installation versions (as seen in a previous edit of this post). Also, don't forget to add the openssl binary folder ${env:ProgramFiles}\OpenSSL to your Path.
You should specify the absolute path to the config, something like this:
openssl req -x509 -config "C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl.cnf" ...
In Windows 10, no need to restart nor run in Administrator's mode but instead set openssl config like so:
set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\share\openssl.cnfOf course, if you are using GnuWin32
