Step 2. Generate a Host Certificate for the Server

Step 2. Generate a Host Certificate for the Server

Generate a host certificate for the server and provide information for the certificate request.
  1. Generate the host certificate:
    openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout <server key>.key -nodes -config <conf file name> -out <server cert>.req
    For example:
    openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout myserver.key -nodes -config openssl.cnf -out myserver.req
    Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key ..............++++++ .++++++ writing new private key to 'host_omega.key' ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [US]: State or Province Name (full name) [SampleProvince]: Locality Name (eg, city) [Madison]: Organization Name (eg, company) [SampleOrg]: Second Organization Name (eg, company) [Computer Sciences Department]: Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [INFA_sample Project]: Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: server.domain.com ( PROVIDE SERVER HOST NAME WITH FULLY QUALIFIED NAME) Email Address []:someone@something.com
    The default values as shown above in square brackets are from the configuration file. You can input any value or use the default. For common name, provide the fully-qualified domain name of the server for which the certificate is being generated. For example, if the hostname is abc and the domain name is dom.com, the common name is abc.dom.com.
