Generate SSL certificates
- Generate an RSA private key, of size 2048, and output it to a file named key.pem:
openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048# It needs be copied&pasted from terminal manually
awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf"%s\\n",$0;}' private_key.pem- Extract the public key from the key pair, which can be used in a certificate:
openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public_key.pem# It needs be copied&pasted from terminal manually
awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf "%s\\n",$0;}' public_key.pem📝 License
