I am not sure how this happens on Windows, so you might need to look for that information elsewhere unless someone decides to help me and tell how does it happen. I am going to tell about OpenSSL.

Windows

-

There is an OpenSSL port for Windows, so openssl commands should work with it too.

-

I list *nix-like commands here, but only the openssl ones are important and the other things can be done with Windows Explorer.

All commands here work mostly if you instll msysgit with the option below. Oh and you must also change the paths.

+

Download it and run the installer.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! — `Adjusting your PATH environment.

Generating the certificate

Open terminal and run this command and replae YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem with your nickname or something else which makes you know what it is (DO NOT SET PASSWORD FOR IT OR YOUR CLIENT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT):

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem -x509 -days 24855 -out YOURNICKNAMEHERE.pem -subj "/CN=Your Nickname"
