Help with generating SSL Certificates

[dijeesh]

Any proper steps for generating ca.pem, route-key.pem, route.pem, server-key.pem, and server.pem files

[Ryner51]

These are the commands I used for the ca.pem, server-key.pem and server-cert.pem (server.pem):

#Create Server Certificates
export HOST=hostname
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca-key.pem 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca-key.pem -sha256 -out ca.pem
openssl genrsa -out server-key.pem 4096
openssl req -subj "/CN=$HOST" -sha256 -new -key server-key.pem -out server.csr
echo subjectAltName = DNS:$HOST,IP:10.10.10.20,IP:127.0.0.1 >> extfile.cnf
echo extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth >> extfile.cnf
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -sha256 -in server.csr -CA ca.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -CAcreateserial -out server-cert.pem -extfile extfile.cnf

#Create Client Certificates
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 4096
openssl req -subj '/CN=client' -new -key key.pem -out client.csr
echo extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth > extfile-client.cnf
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -sha256 -in client.csr -CA ca.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -CAcreateserial -out cert.pem -extfile extfile-client.cnf

rm -v client.csr extfile.cnf extfile-client.cnf
rm -v client.csr server.csr extfile.cnf extfile-client.cnf
