I want to create a RESTful web service and want to use https. I am very new to this topic. So my question is, how can I create a test (developer) certificate to test https calls in my developer environment?
SSLBuddy still exists and still works but you have to "dig it up". I would not bet on it being maintained. All of that stuff can be done using OpenSSL and some googling. OpenSSL (not as a library in your app, but as a cert tool) + google (to find out what you have to do) works. I'm sure you can ditch VS. I had a blog post where i used OpenSSL to generate all the certs needed for Apple Ios Store. Lots of work but i did not have to get a mac and install their IDE.

ReplyDeleteJason Southwell used to have an app called sslbuddy that used to generate certificates iirc
