<Chapter Id="runtime">
self-signed certificate, use the following
<productname>OpenSSL</productname> command:
<programlisting>
-openssl req -new -text -out cert.req
+cd <replaceable>$PGDATA</replaceable>
+openssl req -new -text -out server.req
</programlisting>
Fill out the information that <command>openssl</> asks for. Make sure
that you enter the local host name as Common Name; the challenge
than four characters long. To remove the passphrase (as you must if
you want automatic start-up of the server), run the commands
<programlisting>
-openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem
+openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out server.key
+rm privkey.pem
</programlisting>
Enter the old passphrase to unlock the existing key. Now do
<programlisting>
-openssl req -x509 -in cert.req -text -key cert.pem -out cert.cert
-chmod og-rwx cert.pem
-cp cert.pem <replaceable>$PGDATA</replaceable>/server.key
-cp cert.cert <replaceable>$PGDATA</replaceable>/server.crt
+openssl req -x509 -in server.req -text -key server.key -out server.crt
+chmod og-rwx server.key
</programlisting>
to turn the certificate into a self-signed certificate and to copy the
key and certificate to where the server will look for them.
