Creating your own Certificate Authority with OpenSSL 1- In first step you need to create your own CA. To do that, follow the instructions documented in here: http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/howto.ca.html 2- Netgear doesn't support ST relative distinguish name so please edit the openssl.cfg (in the original location and in your new CA folder) to avoid using this parameter. 3- From the guide linked above, you need only to execute all the commands up to step 4. The certificate request step and beyond will be handled by the router. 4- Next - please generate Self Certificate Request specifying the following parameters: 1- Name: first 2- Subject: CN=router1 3- Hash Algorithm: MD5 4- Signature Algorithm: RSA 5- Signature Key Length: 1024 6- Click on Generate 5- Click on: "View" for generated certificate request to check its values: Copy all the information from the Data to supply to CA field to the text file router1.csr Version 2.0
