Generating CA Certificates
OpenSSL> req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your
certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:cae
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
Email Address []:
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:
Step 7 Set the duration the certificate will be valid. Keep track of this date.
OpenSSL> x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA rt.cert -CAkey rt.key -CAcreateserial -out
client.cert
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Signature ok

Getting CA Private Key
Step 8 Create the pkcs12 certificate.
OpenSSL> pkcs12 -export -in client.cert -inkey client.key -out client.p12
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Enter Export Password:
Verifying - Enter Export Password:
OpenSSL> genrsa -out server.key 1024
