https – How to create self signed SSL certificate for test purposes? – Stack Overflow

You can do this via openssl:

  1. Install openssl package (if you are using Windows, download binaries here).
  2. Generate private key: openssl genrsa 2048 > private.pem
  3. Generate the self signed certificate: openssl req -x509 -days 1000 -new -key private.pem -out public.pem
  4. If needed, create PFX: openssl pkcs12 -export -in public.pem -inkey private.pem -out mycert.pfx

Manually Generating a CA, Certificates and Private Keys

Generate the key and certificates that our test Certificate Authority will use.

The process for creating server and client certificates is very similar.
