problems generating certificate

[imiller]

OpenVMS V9.2-2 (upgraded from V9.2-1)
OpenVMS SSL3 and SSL111 installed

I'm wanting to generate a self-signed certificate for use with WEBUI on my OpenVMS x86 test system.
The release notes for WEBUI pointed to this page https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/bl ... OpenSSL.md for instructions how to do this.
For the first command in the instructions

Code: Select all

 $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048

or any openssl command I try I get

Code: Select all

%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters

As far as I can tell from online documentation, the above is a valid command. i'm logged in as system and parse style is set to extended.

I guess I'm doing something wrong as I'm not familiar with the openssl commands, but I don't know what.
