How to have an Amethyst Certificate Generated

[Leon van Heerden]

You can have your own certificate generated to be used on the Amethyst server.

You will need to run the following command to generate a Key that will be used on the Amethyst server.

Code: Select all

openssl genrsa -out amethyst.key 2048


Next you need to run the following command to generate a Certificate Signing Request:

Code: Select all

openssl req -new -key amethyst.key -out amethyst.csr -sha256


These are the values you should use for this certificate for the Amethyst Server.

Code: Select all

ZA
Western Cape
Cape Town
Datatex Dynamics
Amethyst
amethyst.clientdomain.co.za
sales@datatex.co.za


Replace amethyst.clientdomain.co.za with the hostname or IP you want to use to access your Amethyst Server.

You then send the CSR file to the CA to generate your certificate. The CA will send back a certificate (possibly more than one).

Then we will assist in adding the files to the Amethyst server.
