How to generate a self-signed that is valid for your browser (by creating your custom certificate authority)

If you're using self-signed certificate for your web server on development, you might know the browser warning saying that your certificate isn't valid. If like me you had manually added an exception for this certificate error each time it showed up, this gist is for you.

Properly Configure OpenSSL with your DNS aliases

You'll have to create a self-signed certificate with a custom SubjectAltName.

  1. Find your openssl config. find /usr/lib -name openssl.cnf
