Error generating Custom-CSR

[bnielsen45]

I'm trying to do a cert --gen custom-csr  with appropriate text in the options --subject --dnslist --iplist and --force and I get the following error:

ERROR: Custom CSR generation failed: Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
ERROR: Unable to generate CSR.   

I found nothing in the manuals or online searching to shed light on the problem.

I worked with Nimble support on this.  The text fields in --subject need to be separated by forward slashes "/" instead of commas.  It was agreed that the error message is misleading and should be improved.
