I've successfully set up my openssl environment to use a YubiKey for a CA certificate.



I can sign CSRs with the following command:



openssl ca -engine pkcs11 -keyfile "pkcs11:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%02" -keyform e -infiles pki/reqs/test.req


Now it would be great to get rid of the following part of the command line:



-engine pkcs11 -keyfile "pkcs11:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%02" -keyform e


Is it possible to configure OpenSSL via a configuration file to use this engine/key by default for CA signing operations? How does the configuration for that looks like?
