How to use openSSL for ceating private key ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have to use openSSL to create private key to secure some of my datas on website.

I downloaded openssl for windows, installes it and thats it. I've stuck :(

I know that I should be able to use that command:

openssl genrsa -out my-prvkey.pem 1024

in command line to create the certificate. But it doesnt work (Even if I'm in openssl/bin directory).

Please help as I'm looking for it two days already and can't find any help

Start then run

you will see cmd, click enter, then you will see

 

C:\Documents And Settings\Administrator then you need to type

 

cd.. then type

cd.. again.

then you will see c:\

Now type and enter openssl genrsa -out my-prvkey.pem 1024

 

Also good reading is http://www.openssl.org/

 

Hope that helps

 

George

Use Windows search to find openssl.exe

 

Open a DOS window.

 

Change directories (via the cd command) to the folder where you found openssl.exe

 

Type in your command.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

That's not a problem for me.

The problem is that when I try to use openssl.exe (using openssl commands) I get a message:

 

The system cannot execute the specified program

 

and I don't know why (???)

1. You're not in the folder where openssl.exe is

 

2. openssl.exe isn't on your machine

you're not wright. Maybe i'm new to openssl but not to other stuff

anyway I solved the problem. looks like it was something wrong with openssl itself, as I downloaded different version and it works fine

anyway i've got other problem now. i created private and public key, added new cert to paypal and downloaded my certificate.

but still don't know how to encrypt my html buttons
