What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated private]# openssl req -new -key private.key -out my_request.csr Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus
private]# openssl genrsa -out private.key 4096 We need to create a PKCS #12 certificate, and below I have demonstrated how this can be accomplished on a *nix system (within Windows, it's the same syntax, only Windows requires OpenSSL.exe whereas *nix needs the OpenSSL package to be on the targeted machine). Open a command prompt as an Administrator, or root within an SSH session.
This can be accomplished within 'services.msc' in Windows, or '/etc/init.d/ca-acrptmq stop' within *nix. This shows an example of creating our own self signed PKCS #12 certificate to replace the expired certificate that is used for the Tibco + SSL handshake.
