I re-did the vm build and first did a restore of my system so I could access the logs via ssh.

Then I cleared the x509 system and cleared the error_log and then ran the x509 create and the following is the output in the error_log file

...+.......+..+....+..+.......+..+.+...+.........+..................+........+.......+...+.....+.+.....+.........+....+..+...+..........+..+.........+.........+............+....+..+.......+......+..+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*.+.........+...+...............+........+....+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*...+...............+...+....+..............+.+......+.....+....+........+...+.........................+....................+....+......+........+.........+......+......+...+..........+..+.+..+......+....+......+.........+...+.........+.....+..........+...+........+............+............+......+...+.......+............+..+.........+...........................+............+...............+.+............+.....+...+......+.+........+......+...............+.+..............+................+..+.+...........+.+..+......+++++

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [DE]:State or Province Name (full name) []:Locality Name (eg, city) []:Organization Name (eg, company) [IPFire]:Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Email Address []:Error checking request extension section server

So you can see explicitly what it came back with.

Regards,

Adolf
