The createcert utility is provided as a simple means to create a self-signed certificate for the SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M host machine.
Note: These certificates are intended for development and testing purposes only. Also ensure that the current logged on user has Windows administrator privileges and has a valid keyset.
You will need to know the machine name for the SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M system. Run the standard Windows command hostname from a command prompt.
From a command prompt, execute the utility createcert, specifying the machine name. For example, if the machine name is “betaone”, the command would be as follows:
C:\>createcert CN=betaone
Successful execution of the above will result in an RSA key pair being created, as well as a certificate which is saved in the file “selfsigned.cer”. This certificate is then automatically installed ready for IIS use.
File calles SelfSigned.cer has been saved.
Certificate created successfully and installed
