Introduction
This article provides the steps on how to generate CSR and key for SSL certs.
Steps to generate
To generate CSR, the OpenSSL tool needs to be installed first.
sudo yum install openssl
Verify if OpenSSL is correctly installed.
openssl version -a
Execute the command to generate CSR and private key
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout jetpatch.com.key -out jetpatch.com.csr
Enter the details as prompted
The files jetpatch.com.key and jetpatch.com.csr will be created in the path you executed the command
Share the .csr file with the certificate renewal team
Once you receive the .crt, place the file and .key in path
Generating Self-Signed certificate
Using the .csr and key from the above steps you can create Self-signed certificate with below command
openssl x509 -signkey jetpatch.com.key -in jetpatch.com.csr -req -days 365 -out jetpatch.com.crt
