Root CA and Private Key

manthonylugo

Hi All,

Is it necessary to install Visual Studio in the server just to create Root CA and Private Key? If it has other options without installing it, am all ears. This is new for me hope you could help me.

Thanks in advance

Hello there,

You can also use PowerShell for that:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/pkiclient/new-selfsignedcertificate?view=win10-ps

Note though, that this function is only available on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 version of PowerShell.

For older versions of windows, you can use the makecert.exe utility, here's the NAV documentation page for that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502478(v=nav.70).aspx

Thanks for the reply vytjak!

But after creating certificate and Installing it, I tried logging in a web client and my url still says that it's not secured. already bind it in IIS and all, even followed saurav instructions dunno where I went wrong..



Also I have copied the certificate in Trusted Root Certification Authorites, but still the same.

Anyone encountered this before?
