How to Create SSL Certificate

These are steps to generate a SSL certificate.
Have openssl installed before
Log with root

1)Create these repositories in a repository
demoCA
demoCA/newcerts
touch demoCA/index.txt
echo 01 > demoCA/serial

2)Create a private key for your server
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3650 -keyout ca.pem -out ca.crt

3)Create a private request file needed to sign
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3650 -keyout server.pem -out server.req
note: When to process ask you to "common name" this means the server name or host name

4)Create the server certificat from the request
openssl ca -days 3650 -cert ca.crt -keyfile ca.pem -out server.crt -in server.req

to see the information in the certificate
openssl x509 -noout -text -in serveur.crt
