Please enter the following 'extra' attributes

is it possible to add an additional custom attribute during the creation?
Thank you in advance Claudio
1) login as root
2) open file openssl.cnf
3) add your custom attribute in "[new oids]" section
4) add description in "req_distinguished_name" section
5) save & close
6) create your new certificate
[ new oids]
newCustom=1.2.3.4.5.6
[req_distinguished_name]
newCustom = new custom attibute
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
nter pass phrase for server.key:
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
