This is a Drupal module with the simple purpose of creating a front end UI for me to use when creating Website SSL Certificates for my Lab environment.

I've pushed all commands to generate a certificate and key within a single, very simple, shell script. This shell script is kept in the file system and this Drupal module simply calls that script passing the hostname I entered into the form.

The certificate and key are provided to me as a link for me to immediately download.

I used the following openssl commands to create my own certificate authority:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 4096

openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -key ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650

Place both the ca.key and ca.crt file within the c:\CA directory on your Drupal server. Then copy the certauth.info and certauth.module files into your htdocs\modules\certauth\ directory. Log into Drupal and enable this module.

Browse to http(s):https://[your drupal server]/certauth/form and fill out the form and hit submit. You'll receive a link to the completed zip bundle which contains your new certificate, the related key and the CA public certificate.
