How to set up HTTPS for local testing purposes?

Question

I need to see how a web application will work with HTTPS. But I can\'t really find much information around about it. I tried to set up my local Apache but I can\'t find a CA

Answer 1

Self-signed certificates (as already mentioned) are probably the easiest option for a single host.

If there are a few hosts, you could create a mini CA of your own. There are tools for this, for example:

• CA.pl: a script provided with OpenSSL.
• TinyCA: a tool with a GUI.
