Generating SSL Certificate for development purposes...
|

| Ralph Krausse 2004-05-19, 5:41 pm |
| We need to create and test a SSL (https) link via our Win32
application to a web server. I need to generate a development
certificate. I heard you can do this for testing purpose. Can anyone
help me out.
Thanks

Use the START button? Then you need CSFastRunII...
A new kind of application launcher integrated in the taskbar!

The easiest way is to simply install Certificate Services on one of your
machines, and request a certificate from that.

Actually, probably the easiest thing for this case is the SelfSSL utility
from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit. It will generate and install a test cert for
you. The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit tools are a free download from Microsoft.
Alternatively, you could use MAKECERT from the Platform SDK to create a self
signed cert.
