https – How to create self signed SSL certificate for test purposes? – Stack Overflow
You can do this via openssl:
- Install openssl package (if you are using Windows, download binaries here).
- Generate private key:
openssl genrsa 2048 > private.pem - Generate the self signed certificate:
openssl req -x509 -days 1000 -new -key private.pem -out public.pem - If needed, create PFX:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in public.pem -inkey private.pem -out mycert.pfx
