SSLCert.exe

Parameters

DOMAINNAME

The name of the domain which should be secured by SSL.  

Example 1

If a web resource should be reachable over the url http://www.beckhoff.com/webui/ you have to use the following command to create a certificate with SSLCert:

SSLCert.exe www.beckhoff.com

This will generate a certificate with the common name www.beckhoff.com in the certificate store which can be used for SSL encoding. And a www.beckhoff.com.cer file in the working directory of the SSLCert application which can be exported on a client system as trusted root authority.

Anyway some browsers may not trust such a certificate because its self signed.

Example 2

If a web resource should be reachable over the url http://beckhoff.com/webui/ you have to use the following command to create a certificate with SSLCert:

SSLCert.exe beckhoff.com 

This will generate a certificate with the common name beckhoff.com in the certificate store which can be used for SSL encoding. And a beckhoff.com.cer file in the working directory of the SSLCert application which can be exported on a client system as trusted root authority.

Anyway some browsers may not trust such a certificate because its self signed.

Example 3

If a web resource should be reachable over the url http://192.168.1.1/webui/ you have to use the following command to create a certificate with SSLCert:

SSLCert.exe 192.168.1.1 

This will generate a certificate with the common name 192.168.1.1 in the certificate store which can be used for SSL encoding. And a 192.168.1.1.cer file in the working directory of the SSLCert application which can be exported on a client system as trusted root authority.

Anyway some browsers may not trust such a certificate because its self signed. 

Important:

SSLCert.exe has to be used with the "Administrator" account.
Another account does not have the required privileges to add a certificate to the system certificate store. Even if its part of the "Administrators" group.
