This example uses OpenSSL to generate keys and certificates. You may substitute other comparable tools based on your requirements.

Fill in the prompts with the requested information.
The following prompts appear.
Country Name
State of Province Name
Locality Name (for example, city)
Organization Name (for example, company)
Organizational Unit name (for example, section)
Common Name (for example, fully qualified host name)
Email address
Work with your security team to verify that you enter the correct certificate information.
Check the folder you that chose in step 2 to verify that the private key and public certificate have been created.
If you used the same file names as in the step 3 example, you should see the following files:
sm_private_key.pem
sm_public_cert.pem
In the same folder, use the following command:

The specific command to use depends on your operating system.
