 +# ./asyd-ca.pl req jboss
 +[skip openssl useless output]
 +Organization Name (required) [asyd.net]:
 +Country Name (2 letter code, required) [FR]:
 +Email Address (optional) [asyd@asyd.net]:
 +Common Name (MUST match the DNS name) [www.asyd.net]:jboss.asyd.net
 +Organizational Unit Name (optional) []:
 +</code>
 +
 +As you can see, I use default value set in templates/simple.cnf, except
 +for the common name, where I override the value with //jboss.asyd.net//. As you
 +probably know, the field CN (CommonName) of a service certificate (e.g. https)
 +**MUST** match the DNS name used to reach the service.
 +
 +==== Sign a certificate request ====
 +
 +<code>
 +# ./asyd-ca.pl sign jboss
 +[skip openssl useless output]
 +Sign the certificate? [y/n]:y
 +1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]y
 +</code>
 +
 +I'm now able to use the certificate, using file //certs/jboss.pem//. Though,
 +in the special case of Jboss, I need a pkcs12 file, so I just do :
 +
 +<code>
 +# ./asyd-ca.pl pkcs12 jboss
 +Enter export password:
 +Verifying - Enter export password:
 +# ls -l pkcs12/jboss.p12
 +-rw-r----- 1 asyd asyd 2288 2006-01-09 20:50 pkcs12/jboss.p12
 +</code>
 +
 +Since a PKCS12 file include a key, a password is recommanded.
