<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>Hi all,</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>I'm following the step of README file (WSD/README) to generate the new self-signed certificate. Could anyone explain me what's the 3 last commands of this list means?</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>> <span>openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048</span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>> <span>openssl req -sha256 -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem</span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>> <span>openssl ca -keyfile private/ca.key.pem -cert ca.cert.pem -extensions usr_cert -notext -md sha256 -in csr.pem -out cert.pem</span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>I understand that it's generated a private key then the CSR certificate is created and next it's created CA certificate but it's already created in the previous steps. Why do this again?</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>Thanks in advance.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>Besta Regards<br>
