cd ~ mkdir ssl openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096 openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure mv server.key server.key.secure mv server.key.insecure server.key

Step 3: Generating the key, use any pass phrase. Step 4: Creating the certificate signing request Step 5: Signing the certificate signing request Step 6: Making a key that has no pass phrase
