02. How to Create SSL SAN Certificate Using OpenSSL

cat > req.txt <<-EOF
[req]
default_bits = 2048
prompt = no
default_md = sha256
req_extensions = req_ext
distinguished_name = dn

[ dn ]
C  = JP
ST = Tokyo
L  = Shibuya-ku
O  = Example, Inc.
OU = IT
CN = www.example.com

[ req_ext ]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[ alt_names ]
NS.1 = www.example.com
NS.2 = example.com
NS.3 = test.example.com
EOF

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout example.com.key -out example.com.csr -config req.txt

openssl req -text -in example.com.csr

• Check SAN(the subject alternative name)

$ echo | openssl s_client -connect redhat.com:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -ext subjectAltName
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
    DNS:*.redhat.com, DNS:redhat.com

• Symantec SSL Toolbox https://ssltools.websecurity.symantec.com/checker/
  Use these tools to check CSR generation and certificate installation
