Acquire a web server certificate using OpenSSL

- [Instructor] In this demonstration,…I will be using OpenSSL…to create a PKI certificate…that will be used to secure an Apache web server…running on Linux.…So the first thing we'll do here is just point out…on my Linux host, I've got a cert folder.…And if I do ls to list files, I've got the private key…for my certificate authority, along with…my certificate authority certificate FakeDomain2CA.…So that's already been done.…

Now, the next thing that I need to do…is actually start generating a key that I'm going to use…for my web server certificate.…So to do that, I'll start by clearing the screen…and I'll run openssl, space,…genersa.…It's going to be…the generation of an RSA type of key.…- aes256 is the type of key.…And the output file name here, let's say, is going to be...…I'm going to call it www.fakesitelocal.key.…

How about that?…So I'm giving it a name and then I'm going to tell it,…of course, I want the key length to be 2048.…So it says it's generating an RSA private key.…In this case, it will be ultimately used…
