Generation X509 Self Signed Certificates

x509certs.sh

# Generates X509 self signed keys pairs
#
# Structure: 
#   openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout "<pkey_name>" -out "<cert_name>" -sha256 -days <days> -subj '/CN=<domain>'
#
# Parmaeters:
#   pkey_name: The name of the generated private key file
#   cert_name: The name of the generated public key file
#   days: The number of days the cert if valid for
#   domain: The domain the cert is being generated on
#
# Variants
#   Add '-nodes' to create certificates without a passphrase
#   Remove "-subj '/CN=<domain>'" for interactive creation


# Example: localhost - no pass phrase - non-interactive - valid for 365 days
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout "key.pem" -out "cert.pem" -sha256 -days 365 -subj '/CN=localhost' -nodes

# Example: localhost - with pass phrase - non-interactive - valid for 365 days
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout "key.pem" -out "cert.pem" -sha256 -days 365 -subj '/CN=localhost'

# Example: localhost - with pass phrase - fully interactive - valid for 365 days
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout "key.pem" -out "cert.pem" -sha256 -days 36
