[Alexander Chuzhoy]

use the following 2 commands to create the certificate on linux:
1.
openssl genrsa -out file.key 1024

2.
openssl req -new -key file.key -out file.crt -x509

where file.* is an example of name.

Shalom Binu,

Connect to https://websiteonserver instead of http://websiteonserver

Or try accessing securepopmail or secureimap.

First, you need to specify the service that you want to secure (http, pop, imap, ftp, etc).

Second, to verify the certificate, you can use:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:636 -showcerts

The last command I posted is to verify the certificate for LDAP, you need to change the port!
