By default, the information in your system <literal>openssl.conf</literal>
is used to initialize the request; you can specify a configuration file
section by setting the <literal>config_section_section</literal> key of
<parameter>options</parameter>. You can also specify an alternative
openssl configuration file by setting the value of the
<literal>config</literal> key to the path of the file you want to use.
The following keys, if present in <parameter>options</parameter>
behave as their equivalents in the <literal>openssl.conf</literal>, as
listed in the table below.
