Just Providing you the simple steps on how to generate self signed SSL certificates. 1.Make sure OpenSSL is installed and in your PATH. 2. Run the following command, to create server.key and server.crt files: $ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key These can be used as follows in your httpd.conf file: SSLCertificateFile /path/to/this/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile 3.It is important that you are aware that this server.key does not have any passphrase. To add a passphrase to the key, you should run the following command, and enter & verify the passphrase as requested. $ openssl rsa -des3 -in server.key -out server.key.new $ mv server.key.new server.key Please backup the server.key file, and the passphrase you entered, in a secure location. ----- https://www.thesslstore.com/ SSL Certificates https://www.thesslstore.com/thawte.aspx Thawte SSL https://www.thesslstore.com/extended-validation-ssl-certificates.aspx EV SSL -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/extended-validation-certificates-tp19143309p26125400.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
