is done on a separate system (or at least a separate PKI dir.) This is the
recommended procedure. If you are not using this recommended procedure, skip
the next import-req step as well.

Changing private key passphrases
--------------------------------
RSA and EC private keys can be re-encrypted so a new passphrase can be supplied
with one of the following commands depending on the key type:
./easyrsa set-rsa-pass EntityName
./easyrsa set-ec-pass EntityName
Optionally, the passphrase can be removed completely with the 'nopass' flag.
Consult the command help for details.

Easy-RSA 3 runs POSIX shell code, so use on Windows has some additional
requirements: an OpenSSL installation, and a usable shell environment.
If you don't have OpenSSL, you'll need to install an OpenSSL package (see
section 1.) The Easy-RSA Windows release includes a ready-to-use shell
environment with special thanks to the mksh/Win32 project.

5. Special Thanks

A special thanks is in order to the mksh/Win32 project and its primary
maintainer, Michael Langguth <mksh-w32@gmx.net>. This shell offers featurs
that allow Easy-RSA to run smoothly under Windows; by using mksh/Win32,
Easy-RSA can deliver the same PKI flexibility to all major platforms.
