nessus-mkcert – Creates a server certificate

Synopsis

nessus-mkcert [ -q ]

Description

The Nessus Security Scanner protects the communication between the client and the server by using SSL. SSL requires the server to present a certificate to the client, and the client can optionally present a certificate to the server. This script nessus-mkcert creates a certificate authority (if none exists already) and generates the server certificate.

Options

-q quickly generates a new certificate, without asking any question
