  • Use openssl to create an x509 self-signed certificate authority (CA), certificate signing request (CSR), and resulting private key with IP SAN and DNS SAN - create-certs.sh.
  • X509v3 Key Usage: critical Digital Signature X509v3 Extended Key Usage: critical Code Signing. Ensure certificate validity. Each one of these certificate generation techniques have very specific use cases and one certificate request should not be used for all three use cases even though it is technically possible.

Online x509 Certificate Generator. CertificateTools.com offers the quickest and easiest way to create self-signed certificates, certificate signing requests (CSR), or create a root certificate authority and use it to sign other x509 certificates. We support multiple subject alternative names, multiple common names, all x509 v3 extensions, RSA and elliptic curve cryptography private keys. Generating CSR on Apache + OpenSSL/ModSSL/Nginx + Heroku To activate an SSL certificate you need to submit a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) on our site. CSR is a block of code with encrypted information about your company and domain name.

Creating a new key, with a self-signed root CA

Openssl Generate Csr With Extended Key Usage Calculator

This should only be done once, in a clean directory. The key and certificate is needed for each app.

1. Generate root CA (private key and public key).

The -des3 option forces it to use a password. You don't want someone hijacking your root CA and signing stuff.

Openssl generate csr and private key

2. Add CA key to machine.

Csr

Create a new certificate

1. Create both a certificate signing request and a key.

Need to use an app-specific config file here, where 'CN=localhost.ssl'

2. Create a new certificate

Norton 360 key code generator. This also generates a rootCA.srl file, which I assume is only needed the first time, but is definitely needed.

3. Make off with your new files (server.key, server.csr, server.crt).

Renew a certificate

###1. Check if the certificate is expired

2. Create a certificate signing request from the existing key

2. Create a certificate

3. Verify the new certificate (should end with OK)

Use Openssl To Generate Key Pair

4. Replace the old certificate with the new one, and delete the csr
