Below are the steps and additional information used to generate self-signed certificate and keys for Apache Web server in XAMPP for Win32 platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 1: Generate a Private Key<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]#openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024     <\/em><\/strong>
Loading \u2018screen\u2019 into random state \u2013 done
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus

e is 65537 (0\u00d710001)
Enter pass phrase for server.key: xxxxxxxx
Verifying \u2013 Enter pass phrase for server.key: xxxxxxxx<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]# openssl req -new -key server.key -config <\/em>\u201c\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/openssl.cnf\u201d<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/em> -out server.csr              <\/em><\/strong>
Enter pass phrase for server.key:  xxxxxxxx
Loading \u2018screen\u2019 into random state \u2013 done
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 \u2018.\u2019, the field will be left blank.
\u2014\u2013
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: IN<\/strong>
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:CHD<\/strong>
Locality Name (eg, city) []:CHD<\/strong>
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: LuvUnix<\/strong>
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT<\/strong>
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:localhost<\/strong>
Email Address []: Blank<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please enter the following \u2018extra\u2019 attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []: Blank<\/em><\/strong>
An optional company name []: Blank<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]# copy server.key server.key.org                                                                                  <\/em><\/strong>
1 file(s) copied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[root@localhost bin]# openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key<\/em><\/strong>
Enter pass phrase for server.key.org:
writing RSA key<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]# openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt <\/strong><\/em>
Loading \u2018screen\u2019 into random state \u2013 done
Signature ok
subject=\/C=IN\/ST=CHD\/L=CHD\/O=LuvUnix\/OU=IT\/CN=localhost\/emailAddress=
Getting Private key<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 5: Installing the Private Key and Certificate<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]# copy server.crt <\/em>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/ssl.crt\/<\/strong>
[root@localhost bin]# copy server.key <\/em>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/ssl.key\/<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Step 6: Restart Apache and Test <\/strong>
Restart Apache<\/p>\n\n\n\n
