certificate

3 steps to create certificate which also has common name on it. Here are the steps:

  1. Create Certificate Key: openssl genpkey -out lts-appgw.key -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
  2. Create Certificate Server Root (csr): openssl req -new -key lts-appgw.key -out lts-appgw.csr

Note: Input fields will have common name to be added on the root

  1. Generate Self-Signed certificate (cer) from the root: openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in lts-appgw.csr -signkey lts-appgw.key -out lts-appgw.crt

To create pfx for the cer file:

openssl pkcs12 -inkey lts-appgw.key -in lts-appgw.crt -export -out lts-appgw.pfx

Note: This prompts for password
