Create x509 Certificate issued by CA from command Prompt

I want to generate a X509 cert which should be issued by Root Certificate Authority from command prompt. I tried tools like makecert, selfssl7 but all they are doing is generating a self signed cert. How can we generate a cert that is issued by root CA? This is for testing purpose only. Please help. Thank you.

You don't. You generate a CSR. The CSR is given to the CA, and the CA gives you the certificate in return. The bible describes how to generate a CSR, and how to take the CSR and root key and turn it into an x509. I think it's in chapter 5.
