openssl hangs and does not exit

Question

I am trying to use openssl to get a certificate, and it seems to keep hanging. I have done a lot of research but not all of the available options seem to work on Windows.

Answer 1

On windows, simply typing winpty before your openssl command will do the trick. So, for example, you could create a certificate like so:

winpty openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days XXX
