I need to generate a CSR which I've done many times. However the certificate I'm trying to generate it for only has Subject values for the CN, OU and DC . OpenSSL doesn't let you leave the State, City or O values blank; it just auto-fills them with defaults and you can't erase that.

How can I generates CSRs with these weird values?

If you want to leave some field out then type a period .

If you want to try something else you could try xca. It is built on top of openssl and have a nice GUI. Documentation can be found here.

I was able to do this with the use of certtool - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuTLS
