Generating standard SSL certificates on Windows

This procedure shows how to generate the set of standard certificates with a 1024-bit private key size on Windows platforms.

To generate the SSL certificates on a Windows machine:

  1. Open a command prompt.
    Note: Make sure you are using a new command prompt window, not one that is left over from earlier tasks.
  2. Change to the directory in which the certificate files should reside.
  3. Run the enecerts utility that creates the certificates:
    enecerts
  4. Enter an export password of your choice.

If the program finishes successfully, it displays the list of certificates that it generated.
