Obtaining certificate for testing

There are free trial certificates available for testing things out. Unfortunately, they don't allow for a wilcard-certificate. Hence, to do some testing using an actual cert you can :

Step 1 : Set-up your CloudStack environment - zones etc.

Step 2 : Obtain the public IP of your SSVM to act as source for all operations - say 10.10.10.10

Step 3 : Generate a CSR using openssl or any other tool, following procedure in admin guide for replacing your own domain. For the CSR, use "10-10-10-10.mytestdomain.com" as the Common Name (replace testdomain with any domain you are using). Use US as country, California as state, Santa Clara as city (or just replace with your favorite state and city - just make sure they are real ones)

Step 4 : Go to http://www.symantec.com/verisign/ssl-certificates# , select Trial version for "Secure Site SSL Certificates"

Step 5 : Give YOUR e-mail ID (certificate will be sent there), use CSR generated in step 3

You should get a certificate in your e-mail. Use the certificate to upload. Note that it is NOT a wild-card certificate, and hence some functionalities like Console Access etc may throw errors. However, from the SSVM whose IP you have used, you should be able to dowload templates and issue copyTemplate command to (i.e. this SSVM as source for copy)
