Hi

I was using before the pfsense - there it was possible to create a ssl key for the webGUI. How do you guys create a ssl key for the box?
The things i found via google were not really working or helpful as i am using XP64 and not any kind of Unix - for Unix were some tools that i could not test.

I do mine from Linux machines. But you can make them with anything that has the SSL package. Have a look at openSSL for Windows here:

http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html

I guess you already know how to make the cert and key. If not scroll to the end of this page:

oh thanks - i will install some UNIX quickly on a VmWare and try it with openSSL 

Is there some reason you can't just use the Windows openssl binaries directly?

not really .. i will try the windows-thing ;-)

Your other option is to have someone make the key and cert for you and email the files.

hm, i am probably too stupid for the openSSL ... in the programfolder was  no openssl.exe that could execute the described string in the doc's
i quickly launched a pfSense in VmWare and made the SSL + RSA there.. works great now!

thanks for all suggestions!
