Describe the structure of a configuration file for OpenSSL.

What will be an ideal response?


A configuration file is organized in sections where each section contains a set of name-value pair. Section heading and name-value pair are case sensitive. A hash mark (#) is used for comments, and the OpenSSL runtime parses the configuration file from top to bottom. When an OpenSSL command is executed, priority is given to the options specified by the commands (using "-"), then to the options specified in the name-value pair of the configuration file. The command exits with an error if a required option is not specified either during command execution or within the configuration file.
