How to generate self signed certificate sing DSA algorithim .

Tried to generate a certificate to give it a try on my computer (domain = "localhost") and failed. It also don't work for 127.0.0.1

Thanks the same...

I was trying to create a self signed certificate for a local server also. Although, I have several so I pretty much need free form in that field without the CN checking.

By popular request, you can also add an ip address (for example: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.2, etc) or any internal domain name (for example: localhost, mobilefish.intranet, research.mobilefish.local).

Thank You. This is wonderful!!!!!

Fantastic, this saves the lives of the little guy from excessive cost.

Thanks :)

How can I use this on a microsoft 2008 server? Can I create a .pki somehow or are there other options.

Works perfectly here with apache (xampp) en hmailserver.

Both secured with ssl, thanks !

Hi,

I have tried generated files for local PC and its giving me Win 32 error.

Will please let me know how it will work with XAMPP in Window 7 PC.

Thanks

Nice tool.
Very useful feature would be ability to add alternative subject names, so you can generate single certificate working with various local names of the same host, i.e. foo, foo.local, foo.company.local, foo.company.lan

add pkcs#12 export feature, please!

Guy, pkcs#12 export feature is now implemented.

Thanks!
Really helpful, worked like a charm each time!
Spared me having to use various obscure command line tools (which is something I hate)!

I've no idea why Microsoft sometimes makes simple things so difficult to get done.

Thank for this simple step create certificate

Brilliant.
I always used GNUPG & cryptophane to generate my keys and certs, but this is pretty easy. Saves me (and doubtless many others) a headache.
Kudos. 'Tis much appreciated.

Hello,

can you please use a "sha1RSA" signature algorithm instead of the now uses "md5RSA" because when using with google chrome i get a "weak algorithm" warning.

Anyone who is using this on production servers has a huge security flaw. You are giving the person who generates it your hostname and private keys...

Use openssl on linux (or an Ubuntu live CD) or Makecert.exe on windows.

Needless to say, awesome work and for small demos, example code, or throw-away code this is great. Nice work.

This is awesome I never knew there was a generator always used WHM to generate my crt files.

Is possible to create SSL certificate for iis ,i already requested from iis and i had csr file is possible ?

Why isn't this page 'behind' ssl?

Could you make it possible to use any value as Common Name? It should not be limited to domain names, but can actually be a persons name, etc.

Thanks

getting error : certificate and private key do not match

Xcellent, thanks allot

I hope to report that it completed. I've been watching for over 5 min., so far, nothing. Not even an error. Still says processing.

PKCS#12 has no download link available?

PKCS#12 export has been disappeared. Now there is only an ad under the text "Personal Information Exchange PKCS#12: "

very simple but
I could not integrate the certificate I created with "hmailserver"

how can I get these files in .crt and .key format? thx

The Self-Signed SSL Certificate didn't generate. I can see 'data not available' in the text box. I tried demo data as well...

Doesn't work. Does not generate a cert. "data not available" message in The Self-Signed SSL Certificate (cert) text box.

Doesn't generate a cert. "data not available" message in The Self-Signed SSL Certificate (cert) text box.

thanks for good artcile

I also got "data not available" for the cert. Is there a fix?

How do I enter a SAN?
