Use https://letsencrypt.org, you can create unlimited SSL with it for free on your Linux server. |

It is pretty straightforward. Read through this document (https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html) First create certificate key and signing request with the code below. (You will be asked some questions when you run the second command) openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048 Then create your self-signed certificate with the following command (expires after 365 days): openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt This should put your certificate in a file named "server.crt" in the current directory. You should read that document linked above for best practices with certificates. |

Re: Create Self-Signed Certificate by jidez007: 8:09pm On Dec 19, 2016 |
I have used this https://letsencrypt.org. it's free but you have to install it on a Linux server, the best part is, it renews by itself every 90 days. |
Re: Create Self-Signed Certificate by Jenifa123: 8:10pm On Dec 19, 2016 |
wosign lasts as much as five yrs before renewal |
Re: Create Self-Signed Certificate by Nobody: 8:17pm On Dec 19, 2016 |
jidez007:Wow, that is good. Let us know if you have installed it. |

Re: Create Self-Signed Certificate by lordZOUGA(m): 12:23am On Dec 29, 2016 |
arinolaa:The error indicates that either the "server.csr" or "server.key" file does not exist or you don't have openssl installed |
