Generate Test Certificate

If needed, you can generate a self-signed certificate and private key for
testing purposes. After providing the requested information, the certificate
and key are generated immediately.

Step

Action

1

Specify an unused certificate number.

If a certificate and key already exist for the current certificate
index number, they are overwritten when you execute the

command. You should therefore always choose an unused
certificate index number before creating a test certificate.
