How to define a Certificate CN name as Variable
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I want to make a generic command which when run should take the value of the CN of the certificate as the hostname where the command is being executed .
Command i used currently is as below
openssl req -sha256 -new -key $HOSTNAME.key -out $HOSTNAME.csr -subj 'CN=$HOSTNAME'
The value of HOSTNAME is defined in the environment variable. eg localhost
Executing the above command creates a key file with the actual value of the localhost.key, but the CN name reflects as $HOSTNAME where as i want the CN to be real hostname which is the value as mentioned in the environment variable , i.e localhost
unix ssl openssl ssl-certificate

You have to use quotation marks and it's a good idea to use the slash before the field name:
openssl req -sha256 -new -key $HOSTNAME.key -out $HOSTNAME.csr -subj "/CN=$HOSTNAME"
If you need to concatenate:
openssl req -sha256 -new -key $HOSTNAME.key -out $HOSTNAME.csr -subj "/CN=prefix${HOSTNAME}sufix"
