certificate. It expects the user certificate and private key to be in the

to standard output. Leverages B<openssl ca> command.

this option is the same as the B<-signreq> option except it uses the configuration

file section B<v3_ca> and so makes the signed request a valid CA certificate. This

is useful when creating intermediate CA from a root CA.
