• Set the SSLCONF variable in the script to point to your custom OpenSSL configuration file, or comment it out to use the system’s default openssl.cnf.
• The included openssl-selfsgn-sample.cnf demonstrates how to set Subject altName attributes. To use this file, set its path to SSLCONF.
• If you don’t need the extensions, comment out these lines:

  copy_extensions = copy       # in section [CA_default]
  subjectAltName = @alt_names  # in section [v3_ca]
  

  The [alt_names] section can remain; it will be ignored if the above options are commented out.
