Creating a Server Key
Create a server.key and an unprotected server key name server.pem.
Server.pem, which you'll create below, is not password protected. Guard it well
because it contains your private RSA key in the clear for all to see.
OpenSSL> genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096
Loading 'screen' into random state - done

RFGW-1 as the certificate Common Name below.
OpenSSL> req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
