  3. Create a file named example.conf and paste this
[req]
default_bits = 2048
prompt = no
default_md = sha256
x509_extensions = v3_req
distinguished_name = dn

[dn]
C = YOUR_COUNTRY_CODE
ST = YOUR_STATE
L = YOUR_CITY
O = .
OU = .
emailAddress = YOUR_EMAIL
CN = YOUR_NICKNAME

[v3_req]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]

  1. Open a terminal window in the same folder as example.conf and run the following command openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -nodes -keyout private.key -days 36525 -out private.crt -config example.cnf
