You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

    • Note: Enter a dummy pass pharse (e.g. 1234) and remember it
  • $ openssl rsa -in server.key.tmp -out server.key
    • Enter dummy pass pharse from previous step
  • Generate certificate request file (CSR)
  • $ openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
