- Generate a private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 - Generate certificate signing request:
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr(use server.dev for your Common Name) - Generate the certificate from the CSR for 5 years:
openssl x509 -req -days 1825 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt - Remove the password requirement from the server key:
cp server.key server.tmp - Then:
openssl rsa -in server.tmp -out server.key - Move the certificate files to
/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/cert/
