Generate a Public/Private Key Pair

This is the procedure to generate a public/private key pair. The keys can be further used to generate digitally signed certificates, or even to configure ssh, though ssh has its own procedure to generate key pairs.

openssl genrsa|gendsa -out <keyfile-name>.key <key-lenght>
openssl genrsa -out test.key 2048

Obtain a Server Certificate

openssl s_client -connect nexus-cicd.apps.openshift.novaordis.io:443

 0 s:/CN=*.apps.openshift.novaordis.io
[...]
---
