This "blog" is really just a scratchpad of mine. There is not much of general interest here. Most of the content is scribbled down "live" as I discover things I want to remember. I rarely go back to correct mistakes in older entries. You have been warned :)

Here is how to use Microsoft's makecert utility to generate certificates:

To make a CA certificate (self-signed):

makecert -cy authority -r -n "CN=MM Root Authority" -sv zot.pvk zot.cer

To make a certificate signed by the new CA:

makecert -ic zot.cer -iv zot.pvk -n "CN=MM Test SSL,O=MM Test SSL,C=CA,S=Alberta,L=Calgary" -sv test.pvk test.cer
