Sign the MQTT Transmission CA with the Root CA using the command below. This command will sign the CSR "transmissionCA.csr" with the Root CA certificate ‘ca.crt’ and RSA private key ‘ca.key’, creating a new X.509 certificate named ‘transmissionCA.crt’ valid for 3650 days (10 years). An "transmissionCA.srl" file will also be created containing the signed certificate's unique serial number. You will be required to enter the pass phrase associated with the private key file "ca.key".
