Step 3. Generate a Self-Signed Certificate

Use the following command to generate the self-signed certificate:

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in <name>.csr -signkey <name>.key -out <name>.crt

The command generates

server.crt

and

server.key

. Use these files in the Data Vault server and client locations as described later in the document.

Alternate command to create a self-signed certificate

Once you have fulfilled the prerequisites for a self-signed certificate, you can generate a self-sign certificate using a single command:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout <key.pem> -out <cert.pem> -days 365

Because the certificate is self-signed, a single certificate file functions as both the CA and server certificate.

After you generate the self-signed certificate, proceed to the topic "SSL Configuration in Data Vault." You need the certificate and the key that you generated to proceed.
