How to create a certificate for local development with SSL?


I'm new here but go to this site and the information there

Creating a self signed Certificate


You can use Java's keystore to generate a self-signed certificate for local development.


You are best off making a self signed certificate and adding it to whatever machine you use for testing. It should then appear "real" to the client... of course, it is real... just not by a "trusted" place. (quote marks because I swear it is all about money!)

I just found this page that should step you through it
