Do we have recommendations how to easily create a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate? The latter is required to switch a DMA from HTTP to HTTPS?

Hi Thomas,

While it’s not an answer to your question, instead of working with a self-signed certificate, it’s better to work with a real TLS certificate that you obtain through a Certificate Authority.

*A self-signed certificate will be flagged as insecure by your computer by default and needs to be installed on all client machines.

Hi Thomas

I usually use the OpenSSL tool. There are various guides online that can help you to get a self-signed certificate.

I found this website listing several options (including OpenSSL).

If you would need more help feel free to contact me.
