While this happens to be used with TLS, "SSL Commonname" sound quite
confusing.. This should be the Subject name CN of the Root CA
certificate.

DNS Name of what? Should be something like OSU_SERVER_HOSTNAME.

Same comment about SSL.

What is "OSU-Client Server"?? CNOC is used as the CN in the test
certificate that has an invalid usage limitations to work as a server.

That should be "passphrase for private keys"

Server name of what? This should be OSU_SERVER_HOSTNAME (i.e., only one
parameter for this.. DNS == SERVERNAME here is a requirement since
dNSName and subject CN must be same).

Same comment about SSL.

That fails on many /bin/sh (which is not required to be bash)...
--> if [ $DEBUG = 1 ]

Why? openssl-root.cnf is the file from repository and must not be
modified. A temporary .tmp file was used here for a reason..

Same as openssl-root.cnf.

And here's the .tmp file.. Hmm.. Why not simply skip the previous step
with .orig?

This looks a bit undesired flexibility.. This certificate is required to
use "<company> Hotspot 2.0 Intermediate CA" format for the CN. If this
can be modified, it documentation should make it clear that changing
this to anything else will result in an invalid certificate.
