[openssl-users] How to add CT Precertificate SCTs to a server certificate?

[Jeffrey Walton]

Browsers are starting to enforce Certificate Transparency (CT).

Below is a sample of CT Precertificate SCTs, which is required for CT.
It includes a new certificate extension with an OID of
1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.2.

How do we use `openssl req` and a CONF file to add the information
(assuming we already have the certified timestamps)?
