Preliminary notes:

If for your particular deployment you are not using an external CA (Certificate Authority) you will

need to create your own CA. Some alternatives on how to achieve this are outlined below, but

they are not exclusive to other methods:

OpenSSL: http://www.openssl.org,

SimpleCA:

http://www.vpnc.org/SimpleCA/

Microsoft's IIS

OpenSSL which could be downloaded from the following link:
