There is not much information to go on here, can you provide more
information on what commands you invoke and the files you use as input?
I'm not familiar with OpenXcap though, so you may find better answers on
a OpenXcap forum.

Generating keys and certificates is covered in the GnuTLS manual:

I blogged about how to create CACert keys/certs some time ago:
