make-ssl-cert - Debconf wrapper for openssl
Contents
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.

uses an obsoltete signature algorithm.
