| This page will detail how to use [[https://www.openssl.org/|OpenSSL]] to create a Certificate Authority and how to generate a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate for use with a web server such as Apache Tomcat. This is useful when you need to use SSL on a local development machine. As a general rule of thumb, if you need an SSL certificate for use on either a production or non-production instance, you should contact your organization's IT team to obtain a certificate that will work properly in your environment. | This page will detail how to use [[https://www.openssl.org/|OpenSSL]] to create a Certificate Authority and how to generate a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate for use with a web server such as Apache Tomcat.
