Create a multi-domain SSL certificate without a common name.

I will use a self-signed certificate as it is enough to show how it works.

Describe certificate. Use DNS option to define a DNS name and IP option do define an IP address.

$ cat <<EOF | tee certificate.cfg
[ req ]
req_extensions     = req_ext
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
prompt             = no
[req_distinguished_name]
commonName=example.org
[req_ext]
subjectAltName   = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1  = example.org
DNS.2  = *.example.org
EOF

Generate certificate.

$ openssl req -x509 -config certificate.cfg -extensions req_ext -nodes -days 360 -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -keyout certificate.key -out certificate.crt -new -subj "/"
Generating a RSA private key

writing new private key to 'certificate.key'

Display certificate.

$ openssl x509 -in certificate.crt -text -noout
