Hello,
I have installed cygwin and I am trying to create a certificate using
openssl.
The command is:
openssl req -new -out server.csr
And I get the following:
unable to write 'random state'
I searched this on google and I found one entry saying that I have to
set RANDFILE in the environment or use the "-rand" option.
I can't get it to work though. I admit that I am lacking in
understanding here and I am not sure if I should actually be asking this
question at an openssl forum...
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Maria
