OpenSSL command 'req', option '-keyout' behaves differently between OpenSSL v3.x verses v1.x When the private key is encrypted: - v1.x ignores '-keyout' and does not create a new key. - v3.x creates a new key with different parameters to the original key. v3.x creates the original key, encrypted by AES-256-CBC; then creates the unnecessary, secondary key, encrypted by DES-EDE3-CBC. Because EasyRSA has already generated the private key, the 'req' command must not generate a secondary key. Signed-off-by: Richard T Bonhomme <[email protected]>

Because EasyRSA has already generated the private key, the 'req' command must not generate a secondary key.
