You can skip the next paragraph if you already have one:<br>{{Code|cd /etc/pki/tls/misc./CA.pl –newca}}*You will be prompted for the file name, hit enter to create a new CA.* You will need to enter a passphrase next, be sure to remember it.*Choose the Country Name, State or Province Name, Locality Name, Organization Name, and Organizational Unit Name to your liking. Be sure to remember the values, they will be needed in the key creation later. *For the Common Name, type “CA” (without quotes). *Take defaults for everything else and when prompted enter the passphrase from above.<br>Now a key that is sent to Gmail to start the SSL encryption will be created: <br>{{Code|cd /etc/pki/tlsmkdir gmail_relaycd gmail_relayopenssl genrsa -out server.key 1024openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr}}You will be prompted for country etc. like when creating the CA. Enter the same values. <br>As Common Name, now enter the name of your server, FQDN or not, your choice. <br>{{Code|openssl ca -out server.pem -infiles server.csr}}You will need to enter your passphrase again at this point.<br>When asked if you want to sign the key, answer yes, same when asked if to commit itrelay Post Mail Relay] application.
