Manual

1. Create a root CA certificate

• Create the root key

openssl ecparam -out root.key -name prime256v1 -genkey

• Create a Root Certificate and self-sign it

openssl req -new -sha256 -key root.key -out root.csr

• Generate the Root Certificate

openssl x509 -req -sha256 -days 365 -in root.csr -signkey root.key -out root.crt

2.Create a server certificate

• Create the certificate's key

openssl ecparam -out server.key -name prime256v1 -genkey

• Create the CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

openssl req -new -sha256 -key server.key -out server.csr

• Generate the certificate with the CSR and the key and sign it with the CA's root key

Replace <<DOMAIN>>

cat > "server.ext" <<EOF
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = <<DOMAIN>>
EOF

openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA  root.crt -CAkey root.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365 -sha256 -extfile server.ext

• Verify the created certificate

openssl x509 -in server.crt -text -noout
