Create a OpenSSL certificate on Windows [closed]
If you're on windows and using apache, maybe via WAMP or the Drupal stack installer, you can additionally download the git for windows package, which includes many useful linux command line tools, one of which is openssl.
The following command creates the self signed certificate and key needed for apache and works fine in windows:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout privatekey.key -out certificate.crt
To create a self signed certificate on Windows 7 with IIS 6...
Open IIS
Select your server (top level item or your computer's name)
Under the IIS section, open "Server Certificates"
Click "Create Self-Signed Certificate"
Name it "localhost" (or something like that that is not specific)
Click "OK"
You can then bind that certificate to your website...
Right click on your website and choose "Edit bindings..."
Click "Add"
- Type: https
- IP address: "All Unassigned"
- Port: 443
- SSL certificate: "localhost"
Click "OK"
Click "Close"
