Author

       The program author is Thom May <thom@debian.org>, manual page was written for completeness by Fabio M. Di
       Nitto <fabbione@fabbione.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).

                                                                                                make-ssl-cert(8)

Description

       make-ssl-cert  is  a simple debconf to openssl wrapper to create self-signed certificates.  It requires a
       source template (Ex: /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf) and it will place the new generated  certificate  in
       the specified output file.
       Invoked  with  "generate-default-snakeoil",  it  will  generate  /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and
       /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key.

Name

       make-ssl-cert - Debconf wrapper for openssl

Options

       A summary of options are included below.

       --force-overwrite
              Always create a new certificate, even if the file already  exists.   For  backwards  compatibility
              with 1.0.x, this option can be given as last argument, too.

       --no-overwrite
              Never  overwrite  an existing file, even if the old certificate's key length is too small or if it
              uses an obsoltete signature algorithm.

       --expiration-daysN
              Make the new certificate expire in N days.  Default is 3650.
