How do i install a self signed server certificate

After using the admin tool to generate a request CSR, how do I sign this myself for testing purposes so I can install it and therefore run using https?
I have keytool and certutil both available on the system.
My most recent solution was to cut and paste the request to www.thawte.com/cgi/server/test.exe and it would return a certificate that was good for 21 days. This however is not the solution I am looking for.
Thanks

Hi,
I recently found out a way how to install test or self-signed certificates and use it with S1SE.
See:
http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO.html
Follow the instructions there
1. Create CA
2. Create root ca certificate
Now install the root-ca-certificate in S1SE -> Security>Certificate Management and Install a "Trusted Certificate Authority".
Paste the contents of the file: cacert.pem into the message-text box.
Then restart the server. Now your CA-Cert should be visible in the Manage Certificates menu.
The next step is to send a certificate-request from S1SE to your e-mail-address.
The contents of the e-mail the server sends to you (certificate request) must be pasted into the file: newreq.pem.
Now just sign the Request:
CA.pl -sign
The last step is that you have to paste the contents of the file newcert.pem into the message-box of the Security>Certificate Management - now under the option Certificate for "This Server".
Then you have to reboot the server/instance again and it should work with your certificate.

How do I install this self-signed SSL certificate?

I haven't been able to connect to the jabber server I've been using (phcn.de) for quite some time now, so I filed a bug report with mcabber. The friendly people there told me to install phcn.de's self-signed certificate, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to do that.
I know I can download something resembling a certificate using
$ gnutls-cli --print-cert -p 5223 phcn.de
Which does give me something to work with:
Resolving 'phcn.de'...

Nokia X - import self signed server certificate

Do someone know how to import a self signed server certificate? No CA root certificate, only a server!
I connect from all my devices to a Baikal server for calenders and addresses. For this machine I generate a self signed server certificate. I am working with all devices without problems after I import the certificate to this (iPhone, iPad, iMac, Win7, Srv2k8, Linux,...). Only the Nokia X don't want to accept it.
I store the cert in DER format and name ending to .cer to the memory card, choose the import, the cert is found and I have to name it, but then it will not import it??? And the CAdroid is not working?!
Do someone know how to do this right? Thanks.

Hi, anoymo. You may install the self-signed certificate by downloading it using the phone's browser. The file format should be DER encoded binary (X.509). Or you can create an HTML file using the notepad. Just copy this code (<HTML><BODY><a href="FileName.cer">Install certificate</a></BODY></HTML>) excluding the parenthesis to the notepad and save it as .html. Create a zip file for the certificate and the HTML file, copy it to the phone then open the .html file it should prompt you to install the certificate. Directly importing it to the phone is not possible.

HT5012 How can you add a self signed CA Certificate to iOS 8?

How Can I add a self signed CA Certificate to an iPad with iOS 8.1?

I don’t think that I can help you but I am very interested in your question. Perhaps you have seen information about a related problem…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6590335
One way to install the self-signed CA certificate is to export it to a .CER file, email it to the iOS 8 device, open the attachment and process it. My guess is that the certificate will be installed (check the resulting profile) but due to an iOS 8 bug it will be ineffective.
Or, you could send a signed email from the email account for the CA. Open the email on the iOS 8 device and process it.
I assume your goal is for certificates issued by the CA to be automatically trusted on the iOS 8 device. Good luck with that.
The method I used was to send a .CER file. The CA certificate showed up as a profile. However, I do not get automatic trusting of certificates issued by the CA.

How do I trust a self-signed issuer certificate?

I created a self-signed CA cert using openssl, and imported it into Firefox, but when I select it in the Certificate Manager under “Your Certificates” and click “View…”, I see the message “Could not verify this certificate because the issuer is not trusted.”
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i38v78802ym9fug/Screenshot%202014-04-15%2010.49.14.png
When I visit the site that I set up with an SSL cert signed by that same self-signed CA cert, I get an untrusted connection warning with the following technical details: “staging.cakemade.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is not trusted. (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)”
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rvq00r0pdn99rd6/Screenshot%202014-04-15%2010.57.54.png
When I view the site certificate, it correctly identifies the issuer as the CA cert that I imported, but also displays the message “Could not verify this certificate because the issuer is not trusted.”
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3no5pdhf9ddx5h/Screenshot%202014-04-15%2010.57.29.png
I am using Firefox Aurora, and apply updates daily. I am using the default settings for OCSP.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/in58viu3q6wkxvn/Screenshot%202014-04-15%2011.02.22.png
What do I need to do to get Firefox to trust the CA cert that I imported?

I'm assuming you've imported your CA cert underneath the 'Authorities' tab.
Restart FF after importing the cert.
I'd expect you're being prompted to set the trust level upon importing the cert. If not you can do that manually via the 'Edit Trust' button.

Extend self-signed SSL certificate beyond one year

Hi all,
How can I extend SSL Certificate created by Windows 2008 R2's Certificate Service beyond 1 year?
Thanks.

Hi,
For self-signed certificate, you can use IIS Manager to create new one. For more detailed steps, please refer to the below steps.
Create a Self-Signed Server Certificate in IIS 7
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc753127(WS.10)
If it’s a certificate issued by a CA, we just need to renew the certificate with the CA to extend the valid date.

EDirectory install - failed to retrieve self-signed root certificate:142

Hi,
My istallation has 2 NICs, public & internal.
My tree name is IS.
I have succesfully installed and used RedCarpet. I additionally enabled
the Firewall and DHCP server to allow internet access to my users.
On running Yast install for eDirectory I am given the default IP address
of the server, this is the Public IP address - I decided that eDirectory
was for internal use so changed IP address to internal one.
At 50% of installation an error pops up :-
Error
The installation failed to retrieve the self-signed root certificate:142
I aborted the installation.
I retried the install using the public Ip address, it complains ports are
already in use, I chose ignore and go ahead. Same error occurs :142.
Your assistance and guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, this is roy.
had the same issue. using a supermicro with a builtin dual nic.
disabled it and installed an old pci nic to test and it finally loaded the
edirectory without an error.
on another note, i am installing the NLSBS 9.0 and had to manually load
the disk drivers since i have an adaptec 2010s raid adapter. i had
installed suse 9.3 on the same machine earlier with absolutely no issues,
but NLSBS is a pain. if you run red carpet and update all, then the driver
issue returns.
how do you get and install the service pack 2?
thanks,
roy

OBIEE 11g SSL how to generate self-signed/demo certificate

Hi,
We are enabling SSL for OBIEE 11.1.1.5 environment and want to generate self-signed or demo certificate.
We are following note 1326781.1 and are at Step 1 - point 4 that says:
4. Submit the Certification request to your Signing Authority (CA).
Certification Authority(CA) is an valid signing authority of your choice (for example: OpenSSL, Verisign,
Microsoft, etc)
Upon submission of the certificate request, CA returns the certificate for the testmachine server (Server Certificate). Copy the CA certificate and Server Certificate to <MW_HOME>/SSL folder.

Thanks in advance.

As long as you have the keytool on that server (installed with WLS) , you can create the generate the certificate and import that into a keystore.
Follow : Getting Started with WebLogic Server: How to Create and Configure Self Signed Certificates for WebLogic Server Environments [ID 1341192.1] , describes the two options.

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
I am using Bootcamp.

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

Self Signed in Certificates without CA server

Hi Team,
I am working to configure expressway for Cisco Jabber but i stuck now in certificate step, can i do self signed in certificate without CA server ? if yes what are the procedures to do that.
Thanks

It is better if you use a CA server.
Please follow the deployment guide http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/expressway/config_guide/X8-1/Mobile-Remote-Access-via-Expressway-Deployment-Guide-X8-1-1.pdf

RV120W- How to create new unique self-signed certificate?

Hello,
how to create new unique self-signed certificate on RV120W? I can create request for singning by external CA, but I cannot create new unique self-signed certificate itself. Any idea? Did I miss something? Many thanks!
Abudef

So basically RV120W does not support self-signed certificate? It only allows to generate private key and certificate signin request. There is no chance to replace default generic ssl/vpn certifice within router itself? Could you please give me an advice, how to sign that request by some "CA"? I mean no commercial CA, I need something free running under Windows os. Many thanks!
