UNIVERGE SL2100 Release 1.8 Overview
This section covers OpenSSL commands that are related to generating self-signed certificates.
Step 1: Generate SSL certificates using OpenSSL
1. Download and install OpenSSL. There are Windows and Linux installers available, which can
be found using a suitable search engine.
2. For Windows platforms recommend installing to C:\OpenSSL and putting the executables into
the OpenSSL\bin folder instead of the Windows system folder. Once the installation finishes,
add the new bin folder to your system path variable using the following steps:
•
Right-click the "My Computer" and select "Properties"
•
Go to the "Advanced" tab and click "Environment Variables"
•
Under "System variables," select "Path" and click "Edit"
•
If the "Path" value does not end with a semicolon, add one
•
Add a path to the bin folder; for example, C:\OpenSSL\bin
•
Click OK three times
3. Next, open a command prompt and run the following at the command prompt.
>openssl req –newkey rsa:2048 –nodes –keyout SL2100.key –x509 –days 365 –out SL2100.pem
