Self Signing Certificates in Apache2
Posted September 25th, 2008 by Matt ShadboltI found this terrific article explaining the process of self signing SSL certificates for Apache test servers. In my instance I couldn’t get a test site to work 100% as there were a couple of pages that were loading via SSL. By self-signing the certificate I could trick the pages into loading correctly.

When using the instructions above, be sure you note down all the paths of the files you are working with. Although the article is good – there are some small syntax errors when self-signing the certificate (the openssl x509 -in section)
Of course this process isn’t for public sites as there isn’t any CA actually signing the certificate for you – but it makes testing a site cheap and easy.
