How to Connect to SSL Server through OpenSSL​

Step 1: Run Config-tool​

Run installed 'Config-tool'

Step 2: Setup OpenSSL​

Setup OpenSSL to use as the SSL Server.

genrsa -des3 -out [key_name].key 2048
req -new -key [key_name].key -out [csr_name].csr
x509 -req -days [days] -in [csr_name].csr -signkey [key_name].key -out [crt_name].crt

Ex>
genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048
req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Step 3: Run SSL Server through OpenSSL​

If you have setup the OpenSSL to use as the SSL server, run the SSL server.

s_server -accept [port] -cert [crt_name].crt -key [key_name].key

Ex>
s_server -accept 443 -cert server.crt -key server.key
