4. To generate an SSL certificate, the openssl application can be used. The sub-steps
below can be executed in any Linux machine to generate SSL certificates. For other
openssl implementations, refer to the openssl documentation to find the equivalent
steps for them.
a. Execute the below command in the Linux shell.
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout cakey.pem
-out cacert.pem
b. Execute the below command also in a Linux shell.
openssl x509 -req -in a.csr -out cert.pem -CA cacert.pem
-CAkey cakey.pem -CAcreateserial
The above steps will generate the certificate file cert.pem.
5. Open the generated certificate file cert.pem and delete the first line (---BEGIN
CERTIFICATE ---) and last line (----END CERTIFICATE--).
6. Join all the remaining lines as single lines to avoid line breaks being processed and
copy/paste these joined texts in the E
NTER CERTIFICATE text box back in the SSL
