Installing OpenSSL

  1. Download the current version of OpenSSL from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.
  2. Install the package and, in the directory ./bin/PEM/demoCA create the following subdirectories:
    • /certs
    • /newcerts
    • /crl.
  3. In the file openssl.cnf, change the path in the [CA_default] group to: dir= ./PEM/demoCA
  4. OpenSSL is started with a double-click on openssl.exe in the ./bin directory.
