Estable OpenSSL-connection using self-signed-certificate.pem and display certificate:
# openssl s_client -showcerts -CAfile self-signed-certificate.pem -connect www.example.com:443
-Also take a look at make-ssl-cert (debconf wrapper for openssl)
+Generate ssl-certificate for use with apache2:
+
+export RANDFILE=/dev/random
+mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl/
+openssl req $@ -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
+chmod 600 /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
+
+Also take a look at make-ssl-cert (debconf wrapper for openssl):
+
+# /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/apache.pem
+
and mod-ssl-makecert (utility to create SSL certificates in /etc/apache/ssl.*/).
