Logical Solutions' Secure Console Server SSL Certificate README
May 17, 2005


When the linuxconf setup interface is used, a pre-configured SSL certificate
is used during the https validation.

Once the SCS has been configured and it's host name set, the certificate
should be recreated with the correct data. This data is in the file
/etc/linuxconf/linuxconf.cnf
Edit this file, replacing the default data with your own data. This includes
all the data in the [ req_dn ] section.


The following command will create a new certificate that expires in 365 days.
You may make the date longer or shorter.

cd /etc/linuxconf
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config linuxconf.cnf -out linuxconf.pem -keyout linuxconf.pem
