Generate self signed certificates for nginx
As i mentioned in my previous post that I will let u know how to generate self signed certificates here is the procedure for it.
First of all install ssl-cert using
sudo aptitude install ssl-cert
Next step is to create a private key using the command below.
openssl genrsa -des3 -out myssl.key 1024
Now create a CSR where you need to provide details such as Country, State, City, Orgainzation name, Unit Name, Common Name and Email id
openssl req -new -key myssl.key -out myssl.csr
And the last step is the actual certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in myssl.csr -signkey myssl.key -out myssl.crt
Thats it. So its just 3-4 steps. Now start configuring it with nginx using the link below
