test.cnf:

[ req_dn ]

[ cert_type ]

generate cert:

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -config test.cnf -days 3650 -keyout test.key -out test.csr
openssl x509 -req -in test.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -extfile test.cnf -extensions cert_type -outform PEM -out test.crt -days 3650
cat test.key test.crt > test.pem
openssl gendh 1024 >> test.pem

openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -days 3000 -keyout new2.key -out new2.csr -config sign_openssl.cnf

openssl rsa -in new2.key -out new2a.key
cat new2a.key new2.pem > squid.pem


openssl x509 -text -noout -in squid.pem


if sign_openssl.cnf had all the information configured then this would create without input:

openssl x509 -req -in new4.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -outform PEM -out new4.pem -days 3000
cat new4.key new4.pem > new4_squid.pem

The private key contains a series of numbers. Two of those numbers form the "public key", the others are part of your "private key". The "public key" bits are also embedded in your Certificate (we get them from your CSR). To check that the public key in your cert matches the public portion of your private key, you need to view the cert and the key and compare the numbers. To view the Certificate and the key run the commands:

$ openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt
$ openssl rsa -noout -text -in server.key
The `modulus' and the `public exponent' portions in the key and the Certificate must match. But since the public exponent is usually 65537 and it's bothering comparing long modulus you can use the following approach:

$ openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.crt | openssl md5
$ openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5
And then compare these really shorter numbers. With overwhelming probability they will differ if the keys are different. As a one-liner:

$ openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.pem | openssl md5 ;\
  openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5
And with auto-magic comparison (If more than one hash is displayed, they don't match):

$ (openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.pem | openssl md5 ;\
   openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5) | uniq
BTW, if I want to check to which key or certificate a particular CSR belongs you can compute

$ openssl req -noout -modulus -in server.csr | openssl md5
