[Software] Setting up a private Certificate Authority - Buster

#1 Post by Programming Padawan »

(I figured this question best fit in the networking topic.)

I am currently working a building a website/web app which will handle user input. This means it will have to operate under --> https.

I have been working on setting up my the system where I have doing my coding on as a root or private Certificate Authority, so I can test my code under https. I have gone through around 3 different web articles/tutorials to get this work, but without success.

Could someone please point me to a article/tutorial that has worked for you?

If this is just for testing, why not just import your private cert to your browser.
You only need a private CA (also needs manually trusting in each browser) if you're planning on (seamlessly) issuing / renewing more certs.
