If you don't want to deal with another certificate authority, or just want to create a test certificate for yourself, or are setting up a certificate authority of your own, you may want to make the requested -certificate a self-signed one. If you have created a certificate -request as shown above, you can sign it using the 'openssl x509' -command, for example like this (to create a self-signed CA -certificate): +certificate a self-signed one. This is similar to creating a +certificate request, but creates a certificate instead of a +certificate request (1095 is 3 years): - openssl x509 -req -in cert.csr -extfile openssl.cnf -extensions v3_ca \ - -signkey privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -trustout + openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095 5.
