  • Using the req Utility 

     

      To create a self-signed certificate with an expiry date a year from now, the req utility can be used as follows to create the certificate CA_cert.pem and the corresponding encrypted private key file CA_pk.pem: 

     

    openssl req -config ssl_conf_path_name -days 365   -out CA_cert.pem -new -x509 -keyout CA_pk.pem  

     

      This following command creates the certificate request MyReq.pem and the corresponding encrypted private key file MyEncryptedKey.pem: 

     

    openssl req -config ssl_conf_path_name -days 365  -out MyReq.pem -new -keyout MyEncryptedKey.pem
