Creating a self-signed certificate

A self-signed certificate provides a certificate to enable SSL sessions between clients and the server, while waiting for the officially-signed certificate to be returned from the certificate authority (CA). A private and public key are created during this process. Creating a self-signed certificate generates a self-signed X509 certificate in the identified key database. A self-signed certificate has the same issuer name as its subject name.

About this task
