How do I test SSL on a developer machine?

I don't want to buy an SSL certificate yet, but still want to test SSL on my development server.

Is there a way to generate a temporary certificate, for testing purposes, albeit with warnings from brows开发者_如何转开发ers upon page load?

You can generate a self sign certificate and install it on your web server. If you are using apache, then you can use openssl to generate a self-signed certificate. If you care using Java, then you can use keytool to generate a self-signed certificate. If you are using .NET, then you can use makecert.

Yes download TinyCA or similar and create your own self signed certificate.

You can generate self-signed test certs using OpenSSL, .NET or Java tools.
