I am trying to setup a batch script to automate some of OpenSSL's more mundane tasks. The problem I am having, is that the typical 'passout' and 'pass' parameters still prompt for a password.
For example:
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca\private\root.key.enc 4096 -pass pass:somepassword
and
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca\private\root.key.enc 4096 -passout pass:somepassword
both result in still being prompted to enter a password. Could you please let me know what the correct parameter is. Using the stdin << also will not work as I am using windows. Eventually, I will be wrapping this in C# so the parameters need to be the ones included as actual parameters.
Thanks.
