Generate an RSA private key:
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key.encrypted 1024
Create a self-signed certificate (make sure to enter the FQDN for the ‘Common Name’)
# openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key server.key.encrypted -out server.crt
Remove the password from the encrypted key
# openssl rsa -in server.key.encrypted -out server.key # chmod 400 server.key
