I try to create a self signed certificate with openssl. This is no problem at all using the "req" function. Nethertheless, now I want to create one using "req" that is signed by a parent certificate, so I can create my own chain.
As I understand it correctly I have to use the private key of the parent to sign the certificate, that is also no problem if I use the "key" parameter. But at the end I still have a self signed certificate, due to there is no chance to define a custom issuer. Is the "req" function the right way to achieve this ?
