The PKCS10Client command can be used to generate a PKCS #10 request. For example:

$ PKCS10Client \
    -d ~/.dogtag/nssdb \
    -p Secret.123 \
    -a rsa \
    -l 2048 \
    -o testuser.csr \
    -n "uid=testuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
PKCS10Client: Certificate request written into testuser.csr
PKCS10Client: PKCS#10 request key id written into testuser.csr.keyId

The CSR will be stored in testuser.csr:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
