Generating a Self Signed Certificate
To generate a self signed certificate, we recommend using open ssl on a Linux style operating system such
as ubuntu/fedora with the following arguments:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.crt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be asked a few questions by the application:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Ohio
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Columbus
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Some Company
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Some Unit
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:x.x.x.x
Email Address []:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon completion selfsigned key and selfsigned.crt will be generated, these are the key and certificate files
to be uploaded via the web ui in the section above.
