Use the create key and create cert commands to create new keys and
certificates for SA7150 operation. This procedure can be used when
there are no existing keys and certificates on the server. The
advantage is that this method is very fast, but a certificate authority
has not signed the certificates.
The fields input to create a certificate are called a Distinguished
Name (DN). For optimal security, one or more fields must be
modified to make the DN unique.
