#3056 [Web UI] Improve instructions to generate certificate
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by pvoborni.

Endi proposed that we should improve instructions to generate certificate to be more simple (shorter). Might be good if reviewed by native speaker.

1. Create a certificate database or use an existing one. To create a
   new database:
   # certutil -N -d <database path>
   See certutil documentation for more info.
2. Create a CSR with subject "CN=<hostname>,O=<realm>", for example:
   # certutil -R -d <database path> -a -g <key size>
     -s 'CN=test.example.com,O=EXAMPLE.COM'
3. Copy and paste the CSR (from "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE
   REQUEST-----" to "-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----") into the
   text area below:

Note, the '#' is meant to indicate the command prompt. The tag was not quite visible, most likely people won't see the tooltips for key size, so it might be better to mention <key size> explicitly.
