Create a certificate

This procedure allows you to create a certificate.

1. Create the certificate serial file:

   $ echo 01 > MyCA.srl

2. Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request):

   $ openssl req -new -out MyCert.csr

   This command creates a privkey.pem file containing the RSA private key of that certificate and protected by a password.
3. Remove the private key password (Optional):

   $ openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out MyCert.pem

4. Create a certificate from the Certificate Signing Request and trusted by the Certificate Authority:

   $ openssl x509 -in MyCert.csr -out MyCert.crt -req -signkey MyCert.pem
    -CA MyCA.crt -CAkey MyCA.pem -days 365

   Note: If you want an official Certificate, you must send the CSR file to one of the self-established Certificate Authority companies on the Internet (instead of creating it with openssl).
