(The CA server certificate is now generated in "cacert.pem")

4. In some applications (e.g. Microsoft Windows), DER version of server

certificate is needed:

openssl x509 -outform DER -in cacert.pem -out cacert.der

(The CA server certificate in DER format is now ready in "cacert.der")

5.3 Create a server certificate request from your servers

1. Create your working directory (e.g. ~/myCert)

mkdir ~/myCert

chmod 700 ~/myCert

cd ~/myCert

2. Create the private key of your server, for example:

openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:demoserver -out server_key.pem 2048

(The private key for CA called "server_key.pem" is then created.

This is 2048bit RSA private key with pass phrase 'demoserver'.)
