I try to create a self-signed certificate for a intranet. I am following this suse documentation.

It says:

Change into the directory /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2 and run the following command: ./mkcert.sh make --no-print-directory /usr/bin/openssl /usr/sbin/ custom

So I changed into that directory but there is no file called mkcert.sh?

How to proceed?

I am using Linux version 4.4.132-53-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.8.5 (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP Wed May 23 06:57:07 UTC 2018 (036cd2f)

  • Just to clarify, you are on SLES 11 or openSUSE? It might be that this script is a Enterprise-only provided script. Commented Jul 4, 2018 at 10:15
  • Also, it can be done without the script. And in that case you will find the answer here: stackoverflow.com/a/10176685/1816774 Commented Jul 4, 2018 at 10:16

Well, you can try locating this script using find or locate commands, but from what I see on the web this script may no longer be shipped.

The only goal of this script is to make generation of the self-signed certificate simple, but inside it will call openssl commands to do all the work. Therefore my recommendation is to completely abandon the idea of using some custom third-party wrappers around openssl commands and generate the certificate yourself.

There are a lot of guides around how to do it. For example this or this or find other sources by googling generate self-signed certificate linux. You are on suse, but I believe it is more or less the same procedure for all linux flavors.
