Create a private key. The file created by the following command
contains the private RSA key to be used by viewLinc:

openssl genrsa -out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key

2048

Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file.

Note: This file contains the certificate request details, and is

not required by viewLinc (it is only an intermediate
step in the Security Key generation procedure).

Create a configuration file called SSLConfig.txt containing your
certificate details.

For example:

[ req ]

distinguished_name= req_distinguished_name

prompt = no

[ req_distinguished_name ]

countryName = CA

stateOrProvinceName = British Columbia

localityName = Vancouver

organizationName = Big Pharma Inc.

organizationalUnitName = Big Pharma Unit

commonName = viewlinc.bigpharma.com

Run this command:

openssl req -new -key viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key

-out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.csr -config SSLCon-

fig.txt

Create a Certificate (CRT) file:

Note: This file contains the signed certificate that viewLinc

requires.

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in viewlinc.big-

pharma.com.csr -signkey viewlinc.big-

pharma.com.key -out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt
